How green are electric cars?

The biggest reason for electric vehicles to attract so much attention is that they do not emit carbon dioxide and are environmentally friendly. Electric cars that do not emit carbon during the journey are regarded as the only vehicles that will exist in the future with their environmentalist structures. Electric cars make the dream of providing a healthier and higher quality environment to future generations. Among the biggest advantages of electric vehicles is less fuel consumption. Increasing oil prices cause electric cars to attract attention as a very attractive option. The fact that the use of electric cars, which is considered one of the most exciting innovations in the transportation industry, is still very limited, is due to people's concerns and habits. However, every day, researches that electric vehicles from different sources are not as environmentally friendly as expected are prominent. Finally, according to a Swedish research company, electric cars are not as environmentally friendly as previously thought. The company says that electric vehicle batteries cause high emissions in the production phase.

In electric vehicles with a long range, very large batteries are used for high sustainability. For example, in the vehicle floor of a Tesla, large battery panels are located in the chassis area between the road and the passengers, and electricity is stored in this area. Excessive amounts of nickel, cobalt and lithium mining used in the production of these batteries are not as much as carbon dioxide, but they are quite harmful. Some experts say that switching to the use of cobalt instead of gasoline vehicles will be of no use to nature.
