Today I had very interesting debates about electric vehicles. As for me, i use carsharing more then 10 years, I don’t have my own car, and my position was against EV. And here are top 3 reasons why:

1. Electricity in your socket doesn’t come from magic. It is made on Generation Plants, and China, as most EV flooded country, have 58-65% electricity made from coal. Hence, the CO2 doesn’t come from vehicles now, it comes from Generation

2. Resources for Li-ion batteries comes from South America, or African countries like Congo. Huge demand for Cobalt, Lithium and other materials requires more digging and mines. The work conditions are bad, and even child labor may present in these conditions.

3. Money to invest in EV , providing credit support, and low parking rates, are huge, and comes from Government sources. The example of Norway, where all those preferences are now in process of slow cancelation and decline, show us that EV market cannot be healthy without huge government support.

My proposals? Support carsharing, Invest in Atom energy, Hydrogen cars (which are still electric, but very different from traditional Li-ion batteries) and make AI to do huge R&D on thermonuclear energy. What do you think?
