New energy vehicles are more polluting than fuel vehiclesAroused heated discussions among netizens!Who is greener?
First of all, let's understand the environmental advantages of new energy vehicles. New energy vehicles use non-fossil energy as power, and their exhaust emissions are almost zero, and their energy consumption is much lower than that of fuel vehicles. At the same time, the noise pollution of new energy vehicles is also very small.
Some netizens believe that although new energy vehicles have these environmental advantages, they are not completely free of environmental pollution problems. Some netizens pointed out that lithium-ion batteries produced by new energy vehicles require a large amount of resources, including rare earth elements, lithium, nickel, cobalt, etc., and the mining, extraction and processing of these materials will produce a large amount of pollutants such as wastewater, waste residue and acid gas. In addition, the production of batteries also requires a large amount of electricity, and if the power resources still use high-emission energy sources such as coal-fired power generation, the production process of new energy vehicles will pollute the environment a lot.
In response to these problems, manufacturers and environmental activists pointed out that there is a certain amount of pollution in the production of new energy vehicle batteries, coal and coal-fired power generation, but these pollution are centrally treated, far away from the city and the use of environmental protection filtration equipment, which is much smaller than fuel vehicles in terms of environmental pollution.
The environmental advantages of new energy vehicles compared with fuel vehicles are undeniable, but we should also reduce the pollution problem of new energy vehicles by improving the technical level. Autumn and Winter Check-in Challenge
