Electric vehicles are creating more e-waste than solving environmental issues
Electric vehicles (EVs) rely heavily on batteries, especially lithium-ion ones, which have a limited lifespan. When these batteries are discarded without proper recycling, they add to e-waste and environmental pollution. The extraction of rare metals for EV batteries also harms ecosystems, making EVs less green than they seem unless sustainable solutions are implemented.
