Correct! Actually, “contestable provenance “ is not used in ANY EV, not a single gram! All manufacturers using cobalt for consumer products are watching their supply chain with an hawk’s eye to avoid any possible scandal. All cobalt of shady provenance (and about 7% is indeed) finds its way into non-branded industrial products, such as special steels and, yes, catalysts used to refine oil. This video is nothing but disinformation!
Correct! Actually, not a single gram of cobalt of questionable provenance is finding its way into EV batteries! Manufacturers are keeping an eagle’s eye on their supply chain on the topic to avoid any possible scandal. The cobalt of shady provenance (and it is true there is around 7% of it) finds its way into non-branded industrial products, such as special steels… or the catalysts used to refine oil!

Dirty power plants actually generates and distributes electricity more efficiently than all but the most efficient gasoline cars can burn it. Today's EVs are just the bottom end of efficieny, they will only get better and better unlike ICE vehicles which only get more and more extreme to make same efficiency improvements.
@skylershank9309 some dirty power plants operate under tighter regulations than others. Dirty to me is anything other than Solar and Wind. Both the renewable options have some dirt on their hands but that's in production or end of life recycling, they more than make up for it during their power production lifetime.
The electric power grid needs updating even if there were no EVs. The aging electric infrastructure is not caused by EVs. Energy demands increase year over year regardless. If anything EVs are exposing and accelerating invest in our grid.
Modern EV batteries can last for half a million or even a million of miles. Can most ICE engines? It is so true that MG is starting to offer vehicle lifetime, transferable, battery warranty on a number of their products. In general, batteries last much longer than all but the most pampered ICE engines!
oil industry is far far worse just do some actual research over the last 100 years all the damage done. EVs do pose new challenges, but they can be work around with new manufacturing and continuous improvement, EVs is a better alternative with room for improvement.
Even if electricity was 100% coal generated (which is the case in NO country, anywhere in the world) EVs would still be less carbon intensive over their lifetime… by a considerable margin. With the US average carbon intensity, the carbon debt incurred by EVs for the manufacturing of their battery, is paid off after 15-30’000 miles… 1-2 years of driving!
Btw, is the extraction of the 20-30 tons of oil an ICE car will burn in its life environmentally innocuous. BTW, if battery materials can be most efficiently recycled, for about 30% of the cost of the primary metals, how much of the burned gasoline can be recycled! The bad faith of this video is simply astounding!
Does EV manufacturing entails supply chain issues! You bet! So does securing oil supply.. wars have been fought for that! No war was yet fought over lithium or nickel, as far as I know!

🔍 Did you know some used EVs hide costly secrets? 🤔

Fun fact cobalt is used to refine oil but is not used in LFP batteries used in most new EVs.

Tesla does not use Congo Cobalt
Your phone , laptop tablet certainly does
"It takes a worried man to sing a worried song." The oil industry is now desperate!
A bit dated. It was true 20 years ago. But currently on some days in california 100% of electricity is from renewables.

Aren't 'dirty' power plants regulated by the EPA? Don't they have to meet clean air standards?

Hello 2014 :) these informations are just rubbish in current world :(

simple question to answer all these facts
is EVs worse the ICE cars for the planet?
i doubt it. lol

EV batteries must be replaced prematurely LESS OFTEN than ICE engines do!
Current recycling battery methods recover 95-99% of the metals.
Another lie of this video!
Is hydrogen more clean?
I don't want our roads filled with Hindenburgs Extracting hydrogen from water is energy intensive
@@richardbambenek2601 Just wanted to know if is cleaner bro
@@ruicosta3855 Very clean almost complete combustion but at this time not the answer to green utopia
