Abstract:
Electric Vehicles (EVs) have emerged as a pivotal solution in the fight against climate change, A means to lower greenhouse gas emissions and lesser reliance on fossil fuels. While celebrated for their potential environmental benefits, EVs also present challenges, particularly in battery manufacturing, resource extraction, and energy usage. This paper provides a detailed exploration of the environmental implications of EVs, analyzing their entire lifecycle, from production to disposal, and comparing them with traditional Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles. By examining energy sources, lithium-ion battery technology, and recycling practices, this study evaluates whether EVs can truly deliver on their green promise. Recommendations for policy and technological innovation are proposed to maximize their sustainability.
Keywords:
Electric Vehicles; Internal combustion engines; EV’s vs ICE; Environmental impacts of Ev’s and ICE
