How long does an electric car’s battery last? Some say several hundred thousand kilometers, while others claim that after barely 100,000 kilometers, the battery is junk and must be disposed of as hazardous waste. So, what’s the truth?
Because batteries are a central factor for a good future based on renewable energy. And because mobility as one of the most important industries with millions of jobs depends on it. Because for a sustainable and environmentally neutral economy, we must electrify not only mobility but almost every sector. So away from oil, gas and coal. Through electrification alone, we would need 56% less energy on Earth, says Stanford University in a very comprehensive and detailed study. And that is not wishful thinking. It is possible with existing means and resources.
