In the article, “Are electric cars better for the environment than fuel-powered cars?,” the author argues that the environmental impact of cars is broken into four separate phases; manufacturing, production, lifetime, and disposal. These phases each produce different environmental impacts with lifetime taking the cake for the largest environmental impact. The article compares the lifetime emissions of an electric car to an electric car, and finds that electric vehicles produce fewer lifetime emissions than a gas-powered car, but that electric vehicles have higher emissions at manufacturing due to their batteries. Both cars produce emissions during disposal, but electric vehicle batteries can often be repurposed, thus lowering their footprint.
