#NotAnAspargusFarm Water consumption is a major point in our technical decisions. Common scenario: “This solution will be more operationally efficient and will give more stable results.“ “Yes, but it will consume way more water, so we are still going with the alternative”. 33% less water consumed per vehicle produced than the industry average, doesn’t happen by chance.

The revolution in humanity's relationship to energy we're currently passing through is demonstrated by Redwood Materials. The company is in the process of creating a future where recycled battery materials will supply much of the material used to manufacture new batteries, while using a fraction of the energy, water and emissions of current refining processes. Tesla's Fremont, California EV factory produced 560,000 EVs in 2023. At the end of their life these cars will produce almost 10 times as much EV battery material as the entire US recycling market processed last year. Recyclers like Redwood, Li-Cycle and others are gearing up to use all the materials these old cars would produce. Their production of valuable battery materials will rival those produced by traditional mining operations. Consider what this means. It will become increasingly unnecessary to dig the materials out of the ground. #endofwaste #sustainableopportunity #cleantechnology #futureisgreen #BEV #electrictransportation #ghgemissions #toxicemissions #conservewater #conserveenergy #energyefficiency

‼️ivasion Today: Tesla Giga factory in Germany invaded by 800 activists ‼️ This looks like people in Gaza running away to desert to escape from something.. but it's completely the different. It's about the extension of the Tesla factory to increase the output. https://lnkd.in/gfK2nzj5 It's assumed the water usages in this region is a serious problem as there is a shortage in general and the Giga Factory is increasing this water shortage issue as the need huge quantities. here is a good summary from a Radio station just use a simple translator: https://lnkd.in/dWn6MdeM in general it is a bit complex situation. Tesla received huge funding from the European Union and the local federal state to build this factory in this Eastern part of Germany. so far some 12000 jobs had been created at Tesla only and an estimated 5000 at the suppliers. So good news from this perspective. The area they build the factor is a natural reserved area and a lot of resistance from the local people had to over come to make it work. So it was not so much in the media but the unhappiness of certain groups was, is there. Anyway the need to talk and deal with each other to find a settlement💡🍀👍‼️

We are so glad that our data can support major automakers Tesla, General Motors, and Polestar as they decarbonize their supply chains. Steel and aluminum are critical to the automotive industry, but they contribute to billions of tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions annually. In 2022, aluminum and steel accounted for 2.62 billion tonnes of CO2e according to our estimates. By simply shifting to less polluting factories, these companies can make a big difference. With Climate TRACE data, Tesla and other automakers no longer have to rely solely on self-reporting of emissions data. They can make informed decisions with added confidence while moving the needle on net zero. #Decarbonization #SupplyChain #Procurement #Steel #Aluminum #ClimateTRACE #Automakers

Amazing post to understand the importance of renewable energy sources (solar and wind) to reduce even more the emissions on electric vehicle's life cycle. 👏🏻

Maybe among professionals the statement below might be consolidated as a fact, but not for all the people out there. Therefore the effort to spread proper information out there is never enough and even more crucial than the technology itself to speed up adoption of electromobility.

Time to Evolve or Get Left Behind! 🚗💨 While "stochastic parrots" mimic human speech, some “automotive business parrots" are still flapping around in the diesel stone age! 🦜 Aren’t you tired of seeing automakers launching new diesel models when the world is buzzing about electric vehicles? Are they hoping to fool us with a fresh coat of paint on outdated tech? If European companies and governments won't invest in EVs and infrastructure, maybe it’s time to let Chinese firms take the lead? They’ve already dominated Asia—why not Europe too? 🌍🔋 Let’s get with the times, or we might just be left in the dust!   #EV #BusinessParrots #StochasticParrots #Innovation #Sustainability  

The transport revolution is here. We now have electric scooters, electric bicycles and electric cars. They seemed to have popped up overnight! The technology is changing fast and it’s impressive.   The average electric car requires at least 4000 cylindrical lithium-ion batteries – each one a little bigger (65mm long x 22mm in diameter is a common specification) than an AA battery. There are an estimated 1.4 billion cars in the world today. If all cars were to be converted to electric cars we would need 5.6 trillion batteries. Joining 5.6 trillion batteries together would reach 364,000,000 km. The moon is ~400,000km from earth. 364 million kilometres would go from earth to the moon over 900 times - or there and back over 450 times! Put another way that’s equivalent to over 9000 trips around the circumference of the earth. Lithium is an earth metal used to make lithium-ion batteries. So where does the lithium come from? It comes from the salt flats of Bolivia, Chile and Argentina – it’s a time consuming and expensive process. It is also mined from the ground in countries such as Australia, Chile and China. There is a cost to these processes – an environmental cost. There is no free lunch. Battery technology is advancing, and the electric transportation revolution has amazing technology. But does it scale? and are we just replacing one environmental issue for another?   Check out ‘Jambot’s Guide to Technology’ for more details on these important topics and do have a read of my blog post here on the transport revolution: https://lnkd.in/ekeydt2Q   #jambottech #jambotsguidetotechnology #education #book #greenenergy #electriccars
