Franois-Xavier Pietri on the fact that the environmental impact of electric cars is a fiction

François-Xavier Pietri* on the fact that the environmental impact of electric cars is a fiction. Thesis: - ADEME** states that electric vehicles are produced with a significant environmental deficit due to the manufacturing of batteries, cobalt and lithium mining, etc. - It takes 5 years before an electric car can equal the carbon balance of a petrol car. - Electric trucks and buses will never achieve such a balance. - The price of an electric car is 45% higher than a petrol car. - When compared to a petrol Clio 208 in the base model, the best-selling car in France, the price is 75% higher. - The cost of electricity for charging will equal petrol refuelling costs after 10 years. * economic commentator. ** French Environment and Energy Management Agency. #3 Our channel: Node of Time EN Source: Node of Time EN
