On the Sustainability of Lithium‐Ion Battery‐Powered Electric Vehicles: Critical Review, Analysis, and Perspectives

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This review and analysis evaluate the benefits of LIB‐powered EVs on emission reduction of both CO2 and air pollutants. The raw materials of LIBs face low supply risks as the cathodes switch to low‐cobalt scenarios. Proper management of EV charging can mitigate its negative impact and even contribute to the stability and resilience of the power grid ...
