1 year agoWell that’s a topic that intrigued me recently.
Here in France there was already some debates about how worth it was, mostly because it takes a few years to compensate the cost of production of the battery. But in France we think of the electricity as basically carbon-free (our energetic mix is something like 70% nuclear, 7% gas+coal, then “clean” energy)
However, in the world I think something like 70% of electricity production is fossil (with ~40% of coal), I don’t get how electric cars are even a thing, say in the US?
But it lacks some ground rules on crediting original content
