The environmental benefits of electric cars may never be felt, as their production emits up to 70% more pollutants than a gasoline car. The environmental benefits of electric cars may never be felt – their production causes up to 70 percent more emissions than their gasoline counterparts. According to experts, tens of thousands of kilometers would have to be driven with electric cars to offset the higher emissions. According to the manufacturer’s own data, VW’s e-Golf only becomes “more environmentally friendly” following 124,000 kilometers. However, it is feared that many of these vehicles will never reach their mileage target, as owners are constantly changing to newer models, and many people are afraid of used electric cars. In Europe, the vast majority of car purchases are made with a loan, and in several countries it is possible for customers to exchange their car for a new vehicle following three years, which is probably not enough time to offset emissions. Although according to the European Union, the sale of new internal combustion cars must be discontinued following 2035 due to their harmful effects on the environment, in reality it seems that the electric transition, even if it is realized at all, will not succeed in reducing emissions sufficiently. Electric vehicles can only play an important role in the EU’s green program if they stay on the roads long enough. Volvo has revealed that emissions from manufacturing electric cars can be up to 70 per cent higher than petrol models, and said it takes a minimum of 50,000km to turn a car green overall, which typically takes four to nine years available under This is primarily due to the batteries used to power electric cars. These require raw materials such as cobalt and lithium to be mined in places like Africa and South America before being shipped around the world. Due to the environmental damage of producing electric cars, actor Rowan Atkinson recently claimed that he feels “a bit cheated” by electric cars as he urged people to keep their petrol vehicles for longer.
