CarBuzz reports, "...a study from a Harvard graduate named Lucas Woodley, published by The Harvard Gazette, may have shed light on the matter. His research suggests that BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) owners would have to clock an average of 55,749 miles without a battery replacement to contribute to greener mobility."

 

CNBC reports, "The growing importance of wind and solar energy to the U.S. power grid, and the rise of electric vehicles, are all key to the nation’s growing need to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, lower carbon emissions and mitigate climate change.

"But at the same time, these burgeoning renewable energy industries will soon generate tons of waste as millions of photovoltaic (PV) solar panels, wind turbines and lithium-ion EV batteries reach the end of their respective lifecycles."

 

ZeroHedge reports, "According to New York City officials, a supermarket and apartment building were destroyed on Sunday due to a fire caused by an electric bike. The rise in reports of lithium-ion battery fires across the metro area is an unintended consequence of the 'green' mobility trend."
