Emissions of electric vehicle production: care needed to reduce future emission hotspots
Batteries for cars require lots of nickel and cobalt, which are emission-heavy to refine Future SO2 emissions could increase by 20% in China and India if EV production takes over fully (and batteries are produced domestically with current techniques) EVs will be good for the energy transition but local SO2 hotspots will have very bad effects for locals
