The Environmental Impact of Battery Production for EVs

Data for this graph was retrieved from Lifecycle Analysis of UK Road Vehicles – Ricardo. Furthermore, producing one tonne of lithium (enough for ~100 car batteries) requires approximately 2 million tonnes of water, which makes battery production an extremely water-intensive practice. In light of this, the South American Lithium triangle consisting of Chile, …

Frequent Questions on Lithium-Ion Batteries | US EPA

Li-ion batteries contain some materials such as cobalt and lithium that are considered critical minerals and require energy to mine and manufacture. When a battery is thrown away, we lose those resources outright—they can never be recovered. Recycling the batteries avoids air and water pollution, as well as greenhouse gas emissions.

How much CO2 is emitted by manufacturing batteries?

Currently, most lithium is extracted from hard rock mines or underground brine reservoirs, and much of the energy used to extract and process it comes from CO 2-emitting fossil fuels. Particularly in hard rock mining, for every tonne of mined lithium, 15 tonnes of CO 2 are emitted into the air. Battery materials come with other costs, too.
