That’s literally a moving target. The electric vehicle (EV) market, which includes cars, scooters, and bikes, is growing rapidly and so is its environmental impact.
For example, global sales of EV cars more than doubled from 2020 to 2021. With 6.6 million EVs sold in 2021, each containing around 8kg of lithium, the EV market accounts for at least around 58% of the global lithium production (90.7 million kg) in 2021. The social and environmental impacts are the same for all lithium-ion batteries, i.e. habitat destruction, excessive water use, pollution, inhumane mining conditions, etc.
