Are EVs really that 'clean'? Let's take a look at this very real paradox. ⛽
" could come into play. As EVs become more popular over time, they are incentivized by authorities, their costs reduce over time, and more people will be encouraged to use them. The result, as the argument goes, is that we will see more of them on our roads, although since they release fewer PMs overall, this may be a benefit.
Li-ion batteries require less maintenance: With regards to maintenance, Li-ion batteries, unlike lead-acid batteries, do not need to be"watered" meaning they require less monitoring and skilled operatives to conduct maintenance on them.They last a long time: Li-ion batteries, as previously stated, last a relatively long time. On average, a Li-ion battery can be expected to remain serviceable for eight or more years .
They are generally safe: As Li-ion batteries do not need the highly toxic chemicals found in more conventional batteries, such as acidic components in lead-acid batteries, they are relatively safer to use and dispose of.
