However, an EV battery requires energy and an array of minerals to produce and is not without its own environmental impacts.<\/p>\n
Researchers have traced the energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in the global productions and supply chains of two common EV battery technologies and their future variants: nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) and lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP).<\/p>\n
This poses questions about whether the EV battery industry can ever truly be sustainable.<\/p>\n
