Polestar and Tesla in Norway are MUCH MORE cheaper than in Switzerland ... but still HUGE EXPENSIVE!

Daimler, BMW, Volkswagen (including Volkswagen brand, Audi and Porsche) possessed the technology to reduce harmful emissions beyond what was legally required under EU emission standards. But they avoided competing on using this technology’s full potential to clean better than what is required by law

Thank Volkswagen for supporting a global moratorium on deep sea mining. They are among the leaders in the race to the top. Choose a Tweet or write your own thanking them for their stance https://perma.cc/HB9A-XPBZ

STOP DEEP MINING!

In August 2021, Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis jointly announced that they shared an aspiration to achieve sales of 40- 50% of annual US volumes of electric vehicles (battery electric, fuel cell and plug-in hybrid vehicles) by 2030. General Motors needs to take more actions to show the world that those are not just words.

Even though Hong Guang Mini EV is only sold in China, the model’s low cost has made it the second best selling EV in the world, just behind Tesla’s Model 3. The vehicle’s 2020 basic version comes without air-conditioning, with a top speed of 100km/h and starts at less than $4,500.

Its safety speci cation which is below par also raised concerns. The vehicle was not equipped with airbags or Electronic Stability Programme (ESP). Under the regulations in the US, EU, Japan and India, it is illegal to sell cars without ESP; while in India and the US, it is illegal to have no airbags in the front seats.

Tesla: CO2 emission level was 136g/mile (85g/km), when considering US CO2 electricity generation emission.

Companies like BMW, Volvo = Polestar, Samsung and Google, which have major demands for battery raw materials, have already pledged not to use metals and minerals from deep-sea mining activities unless and until the environmental risks are comprehensively understood.

According to a Greenpeace East Asia analysis, Volkswagen did not meet CO2 standards for carsxix in the US from 2017 to 2019. During this period, Volkswagen’s average annual CO2 emissions were 145 g/km, with an average of 14 g/km higher than the CO2 standards in the US.

In Europe, Volkswagen = Audi increased its average CO2 emissions by 3% from 2016 to 2019. In addition, real world CO2 emissions did not meet China’s standards in 2019 and 2020.

According to research conducted by Greenpeace East
Asia, Hyundai-Kia failed to meet the average corporate fuel consumption standards for passenger cars in China from 2018 to 2020 and violated CO2 standards for cars in the US from 2017 to 2019.

According to research conducted by Greenpeace East Asia, Toyota met CO2 emission standards for passenger cars in the US from 2017 to 2019 and those in the EU from 2016 to 2019, after receiving heavy fines for violation of the Clean Air Act from 2005 to 2015.

The projected volumes of battery materials needed by 2050 will lead to significant emissions of GHGs: in the worst case scenario, the CO2- eq that could be released is 37.4 million metric tons for nickel, while for cobalt the figure is 10.3 million metric tons and for lithium it is 3.1 million metric tons. Under a 100% recycling efficiency scenario, the CO2-eq could be reduced to 25.5 million metric tons for nickel, 6.1 million metric tons for cobalt, and 2.1 million metric tons for lithium by 2050.
