According to The World Bank’s Climate-Smart Mining Initiative, The total emissions for lithium extraction and processing in Chile, which then proceeds to South Korea for cell manufacturing and vehicle assembly is 1.5 tons of greenhouse gasses per electric car.
An electric car running on electricity generated from mixed sources over a period of 8 years, will emit 10.88 tons of greenhouse gasses
A pollution car running on petrol over a period of 8 years will emit 40.56 tons of greenhouse gasses.
So as you can see there is absolutely no comparison, a petrol powered car emits insane amounts of greenhouse gasses compared to EV’s and we have not even featured petrol car manufacturing emissions in the discussion.
If you want another study by a car manufacturer, here is Volkswagen’s Technical Development unit’s report studying the carbon footprint of EV’s vs ICE. The result is clear. EV’s are way better.
All links are in the description. The next time you encounter misleading articles or videos about Lithium Mining, you may send these links to educate them better!

3) An electric vehicle emits about 3000 pounds or 1.36 tons of GHG each year assuming 50% energy generation from renewable energy

This is just an advertisement and not an objective study on the topic. Of course a UA-cam channel with the name "electric vehicles" is going to defend lithium mining. Also, this video doesn't address the child labor and slave labor that is used to mine this resource. This is not a video that is going to educate anybody on anything.

Bhai sahab Kam se Kam tum toh desh ka sahi naska use Karo. Aap EV ko lekar itna detail me jankari batate ho par editing m itni laparvahi........😒🙄😒

[@pareshraheja1]

What about the green house gases for generating the electricity that is consumed in an EV. 75% of our countries power is generated through Coal fired power plant

[@sachitanandmete926]

40% electricity are from renewable sources now.coal uses 60%.

[@pareshraheja1]

@@sachitanandmete926 hi, i work in the renewable power industry... Very happy to note the ratio has increased. Although, could you share any evidence to confirm these numbers since I could not find the updated figures!
