Environmental Impact of Lithium-Ion Battery Production

Quick fact

Producing a 75 kWh electric car battery pack can generate 5–15 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent, which is roughly the same as driving a petrol car for a year.

Why this is interesting

Most people think electric vehicles are zero-emission, but did you know that producing a single lithium-ion battery can emit more CO₂ than building a conventional car?
