Well, George, I found that article pretty much unreadable. It seems they google-translated some Swedish article and the results are bewildering (at least to me). For example:
"The study also concluded that emissions grow almost linearly with the size of the battery, even if it is pinched by the data in that field."
What the heck are they trying to say?
I assume their point is that battery manufacturing generates a lot of CO2. OK, I'm sure it does. So does the Bessemer process for refining steel. What really matters, if you're trying to reduce CO2 emissions, is the average amount of carbon dioxide generated over the vehicle's lifetime. Here's an easy-to understand bar chart that compares the CO2 emissions for different EVs, hybrid and IC vehicles. And yes, the EVs DO generate a lot of carbon dioxide. But it's not the manufacturing that produces the lion's share of CO2 for EVs. It's driving them, and that's because we still use a lot of fossil fuels to generate electricity. The more we switch to renewable energy, the better EVs look.
