Newsom - và phong trào xanh nói chung - thích quảng cáo chính sách EV như một giải pháp thay thế miễn phí cuối cùng cho các nguồn năng lượng "bẩn" như khí đốt. Đó không phải là thực tế.

Chủ yếu là v́, giống như nhiều chính sách của ông, chúng tốt về lư thuyết, nhưng khủng khiếp trong thực tế.
Giống như nhiều tầm nh́n lớn khác của ông, tầm nh́n này cũng sẽ thất bại.
Sự thật bất tiện thực sự (The Real Inconvenient Truth)
Newsom - và phong trào xanh nói chung - thích quảng cáo chính sách EV (EV policy (https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F% 2Fwww.greencarreport s.com%2Fnews%2F11394 59_study-ev-policy-around-gasoline-superusers-could-help-the-most%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR 0D37jWZXsEx8fY0-yF7YyJfYJ6zBcG_9lQRd 70DeCdfopEqlTMVJ6dJd E&h=AT1M1KGgLyNUyUO9vp oiA8l1Ow366clrUTjBXW DItOT1QIn1C2-PRcBxR-u-iRh6q9dVA3fwNyYxA_-ati2wmYQG0udwDGyx3wY 5LTFBCc8BeXtFAhagWOv JErOiqOz83t3IqQF1AR_ pwQFPi3SK&__tn__=-UK-y-R&c[0]=AT0u6V6fbE2CqtEv2kE 3cXu7dv0-1vmpGNLonb2gXtqlGOO7 Y60va4FFmfFjCgkamIT8 4UQRCzlw3YgaDyUbhpmR Hws3KaRoFG_m0gRlFtyR xrMlQXUd2tmaof_p-C0DMYgm0mDTLu02CYatI ARudPkQ8CYxoXIBmZpUL 8VP6d85EP3yyFB2N6pdF tOntumDt4tOmtq4s397S DJ10lfvkq3FV-s0FsnrYya6DMohE6bfAV z_5zOSUtQ)) như một giải pháp thay thế miễn phí cuối cùng cho các nguồn năng lượng "bẩn" như khí đốt.
Giống như hầu hết các chính sách tiến bộ, giải pháp không tưởng mà không hy sinh là một lời nói dối.
Hầu hết mọi loại pin EV đều cần cobalt (EV battery requires cobalt (https://www.carwow.co.uk/blog/what-is-cobalt-used-for-in-elecrtic-cars?fbclid=IwAR2dMS IjQlXVpM09Pd8SKU_hxk IiZgjHNqZlWEXcuNOHpu dgU4TegNDgJ2Y#gref)) , một khoáng chất hiếm và đắt tiền được t́m thấy chủ yếu ở Cộng ḥa Dân chủ Congo (Democratic Republic of the Congo (https://www.worldbank.org/en/country/drc/overview?fbclid=IwAR 11nEOg_86Wts1_8cNo6F 6l6iWqGVm8cqvz85-zZdh6w_6Y643QwSJeKQ4 )).

Trong khi Trung Cộng đứng cuối danh sách, chỉ sản xuất 2.200 tấn, quốc gia này dẫn đầu thế giới về sản xuất coban tinh chế với 70% tổng nguồn cung toàn cầu với hầu hết nguyên liệu thô đến từ Congo. Làm thế nào điều đó cho một whammy nhân quyền kép?
Trung Cộng cũng là nước tiêu thụ cobalt hàng đầu với phần lớn được sử dụng để cung cấp cho ngành công nghiệp pin sạc. Việc thúc đẩy xe điện đẩy Mỹ ngày càng vào ṿng tay của ĐCSTC.
Mặc dù một số công ty đă tạo ra pin không có cobalt, nhưng chúng chưa được chứng minh là cung cấp năng lượng cần thiết để cung cấp năng lượng cho xe hơi trong bất kỳ khoảng cách đáng kể nào.
EV là chi phí - và khoảng cách - bị cấm (EVs Are Cost – and Distance – Prohibitive)

Ai lái xe với tốc độ 65 MPH trên xa lộ mở? Phạm vi tối thiểu hầu như không giúp bạn có được một ngày ở Los Angeles.
Đây là trước đây, giống như bất kỳ pin nào, các tế bào mất khả năng sạc tối đa, điều này sẽ làm giảm khoảng cách lái xe tối đa.
Tái chế pin (Recycling Batteries)
Giống như bất kỳ loại pin nào, pin EV cuối cùng cũng kết thúc/tiêu diệt (kaput). Tuổi thọ trung b́nh của nó là mười năm.
Tái chế pin EV đă được khám phá và các công ty tiếp tục cố gắng đổi mới để bảo đảm nền kinh tế tuần hoàn xung quanh chúng. Điều này có nghĩa là các tài nguyên ban đầu được sử dụng để sản xuất một pin EV có thể được tái sử dụng và tái chế để tạo ra pin mới.
Tuy nhiên, nó vẫn là một nỗ lực chi phí cao, lợi ích thấp (high-cost, low-benefit endeavor (https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F% 2Fwww.wired.com%2Fst ory%2Fcars-going-electric-what-happens-used-batteries%2F%3Ffbcli d%3DIwAR2dMSIjQlXVpM 09Pd8SKU_hxkIiZgjHNq ZlWEXcuNOHpudgU4TegN DgJ2Y&h=AT1Zn4KbbliYkXwo-MG2kmCK_tlBU3oVemWE7 xpz8Q_wubp73FvPD7TTT d3kzyfTWaD8_V_4BcvkC ySUGimVovU0lXq9lHToO 6Ujx2Yr9DZ1L8lm02c4q 6sxICnqkz7-91gloScrvn7iRKu06p8v&__tn__=-UK-y-R&c[0]=AT0u6V6fbE2CqtEv2kE 3cXu7dv0-1vmpGNLonb2gXtqlGOO7 Y60va4FFmfFjCgkamIT8 4UQRCzlw3YgaDyUbhpmR Hws3KaRoFG_m0gRlFtyR xrMlQXUd2tmaof_p-C0DMYgm0mDTLu02CYatI ARudPkQ8CYxoXIBmZpUL 8VP6d85EP3yyFB2N6pdF tOntumDt4tOmtq4s397S DJ10lfvkq3FV-s0FsnrYya6DMohE6bfAV z_5zOSUtQ)).

Không c̣n những chuyến đi đường bộ (No More Roadtrips)

EV là một ví dụ kinh điển về tư duy “Không ở sân sau của tôi” (Not in My Backyard, NIMBY (https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F% 2Fwww.theatlantic.co m%2Fnewsletters%2Far chive%2F2022%2F07%2F the-next-generation-of-nimbys%2F670590%2F%3 Ffbclid%3DIwAR2EvobP T8yGAAQCb1HiJ2R_DBuY xe8cN5e5lZVsTjZ3kDKp XBaj-vjqCAk&h=AT3ywxScj4a8Tflh2f BGjVfOoAee7nxmij7Rfb W0nPJP3tN6NfkXeiyNxz abvwVZ24_9aVPTzODwMl pCRCLqjez8ZRv83JlFXW 615uy3sDUbZrsWnqSEup Mf0dVVnHCxa5I04rIE3O TutdwLWKgM&__tn__=-UK-y-R&c[0]=AT0u6V6fbE2CqtEv2kE 3cXu7dv0-1vmpGNLonb2gXtqlGOO7 Y60va4FFmfFjCgkamIT8 4UQRCzlw3YgaDyUbhpmR Hws3KaRoFG_m0gRlFtyR xrMlQXUd2tmaof_p-C0DMYgm0mDTLu02CYatI ARudPkQ8CYxoXIBmZpUL 8VP6d85EP3yyFB2N6pdF tOntumDt4tOmtq4s397S DJ10lfvkq3FV-s0FsnrYya6DMohE6bfAV z_5zOSUtQ)). Không sao khi làm ô nhiễm không khí, tước đoạt tài nguyên thiên nhiên của trái đất và sử dụng lao động nô lệ ở các quốc gia khác - miễn là tôi thoát khỏi cảm giác tội lỗi về ô nhiễm. Trớ trêu thay, xem xét nó an toàn để đặt cược hơn một nửa số chủ sở hữu Tesla của California cũng có một dấu hiệu "Mạng sống của người da đen là quan trọng” (Black Lives Matter) trong sân của họ.
Sự thật là không có giải pháp hoàn hảo. Chừng nào con người c̣n lang thang trên trái đất, chúng ta sẽ tham gia vào việc tiêu thụ tài nguyên thiên nhiên. Công việc của chúng ta không phải là đảo ngược trật tự tự nhiên này mà là chịu trách nhiệm về sự tham gia của nó. Không phải là những nhà môi trường (environmentalists), mà là những người quản lư tốt hành tinh của chúng ta. Chúng ta không thể làm điều đó nếu chúng ta không biết hậu quả (consequences) thực sự của các quyết định của ḿnh.

Newsom – and the green movement in general – loves to pitch EV policy as the ultimate no-cost alternative to “dirty” energy sources such as gas. That isn’t reality.

Electric vehicles, or EVs, are to be the new king of the road.
California already accounts for the majority of the demand for EVs in the country, capturing over 40 percent of the market share.
Yet despite Californian’s desire to virtue signal (https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F% 2Faeon.co%2Fessays%2 Fwhy-virtue-signalling-is-not-just-a-vice-but-an-evolved-tool%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR 2SKPEl1TkAHz1LwQuYaO LdxBhHIiBVcQuY82yfpU-p5ZG6mLf9Ji7eJZA&h=AT3Jn4OmvF517d5Zjh KqNPID-Ae4VQ09_Uk-HtzVQtBKkh1UzTFBwI9_ kqJ0yrZaKrVaMkZnPL6w 2rI6uK3iQwmEv2LyGzHy T8VLTqIQO0R6ZXDDAKMA TbeSlI0uI3--S4YTF3kYy6Jo6toQNCk4&__tn__=-UK-y-R&c[0]=AT0u6V6fbE2CqtEv2kE 3cXu7dv0-1vmpGNLonb2gXtqlGOO7 Y60va4FFmfFjCgkamIT8 4UQRCzlw3YgaDyUbhpmR Hws3KaRoFG_m0gRlFtyR xrMlQXUd2tmaof_p-C0DMYgm0mDTLu02CYatI ARudPkQ8CYxoXIBmZpUL 8VP6d85EP3yyFB2N6pdF tOntumDt4tOmtq4s397S DJ10lfvkq3FV-s0FsnrYya6DMohE6bfAV z_5zOSUtQ), Newsom’s push for zero-emission roadways is hitting some major roadblocks. Mostly because, like many of his policies, they are good in theory, but terrible in practice.
Like many of his other grand visions, this one will also fall flat.
The Real Inconvenient Truth
Newsom – and the green movement in general – loves to pitch EV policy (https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F% 2Fwww.greencarreport s.com%2Fnews%2F11394 59_study-ev-policy-around-gasoline-superusers-could-help-the-most%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR 27mGeFOk3RyVwAFVagvT OPdQnamqU80Vv1cWZrR3 54-cmQKqaq7xx-Z38&h=AT1M1KGgLyNUyUO9vp oiA8l1Ow366clrUTjBXW DItOT1QIn1C2-PRcBxR-u-iRh6q9dVA3fwNyYxA_-ati2wmYQG0udwDGyx3wY 5LTFBCc8BeXtFAhagWOv JErOiqOz83t3IqQF1AR_ pwQFPi3SK&__tn__=-UK-y-R&c[0]=AT0u6V6fbE2CqtEv2kE 3cXu7dv0-1vmpGNLonb2gXtqlGOO7 Y60va4FFmfFjCgkamIT8 4UQRCzlw3YgaDyUbhpmR Hws3KaRoFG_m0gRlFtyR xrMlQXUd2tmaof_p-C0DMYgm0mDTLu02CYatI ARudPkQ8CYxoXIBmZpUL 8VP6d85EP3yyFB2N6pdF tOntumDt4tOmtq4s397S DJ10lfvkq3FV-s0FsnrYya6DMohE6bfAV z_5zOSUtQ) as the ultimate no-cost alternative to “dirty” energy sources such as gas.
Like most progressive policies, the utopian solution without sacrifice is a lie.

The DRC is also rich in other natural resources (https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F% 2Fwww.unep.org%2Fnew s-and-stories%2Fstory%2Fca n-democratic-republic-congos-mineral-resources-provide-pathway-peace%3Ffbclid%3DIwA R2dMSIjQlXVpM09Pd8SK U_hxkIiZgjHNqZlWEXcu NOHpudgU4TegNDgJ2Y&h=AT2cfcR9jxhymoc8sI fizk_UqKxu8QvgMOpxIA UR1FzJb7w7cpiJHF51sd Il0_i-0xkCmHktBOTM3GCB8y4m Y20kltUtkUlC99yO2GQB QtKQRxNsgNqQkLpQY1kM vZAz12wuwZngeB9LxgYN 5H4t&__tn__=-UK-y-R&c[0]=AT0u6V6fbE2CqtEv2kE 3cXu7dv0-1vmpGNLonb2gXtqlGOO7 Y60va4FFmfFjCgkamIT8 4UQRCzlw3YgaDyUbhpmR Hws3KaRoFG_m0gRlFtyR xrMlQXUd2tmaof_p-C0DMYgm0mDTLu02CYatI ARudPkQ8CYxoXIBmZpUL 8VP6d85EP3yyFB2N6pdF tOntumDt4tOmtq4s397S DJ10lfvkq3FV-s0FsnrYya6DMohE6bfAV z_5zOSUtQ) such as copper, zinc, coltan, cassiterite, gold, bauxite, diamond, oil, and gas. Yet it is also one of the poorest countries in the world, with a gross national income of approximately $550 per person as measured in U.S. dollars.

While China is at the bottom of the list, producing only 2,200 MT, the country leads the world in refined cobalt production at 70 percent of the total global supply with most of the raw material coming from the Congo. How’s that for a double human rights whammy?
China is also the top consumer of cobalt with most of it used to supply the rechargeable battery industry. The push for EVs drives the U.S. increasingly into the arms of the CCP.
While some companies have created batteries without cobalt, these have not proven to provide the necessary energy to power a car for any significant distance.
EVs Are Cost – and Distance – Prohibitive
EVs are not exactly the ideal vehicle to hit the open road.

The car costs $139,650. The Tesla S Model will take you 405 miles on a single charge, or about the distance from Los Angeles to San Francisco and the vehicle sells to the tune of almost $90,000.
The most reasonably priced EVs – and by reasonable, I mean the cheapest of the models like the Chevy Bolt (which is set to be discontinued (https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F% 2Fwww.fastcompany.co m%2F90891404%2Fwhy-did-gm-kill-the-chevy-bolt-electric-vehicle-ev%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR36 jjxmlTN6GiAupU3_C5Kx 9RZdANLjXMzzEn4cJeMK pwzSfOXt-DNINnU&h=AT1RXO6mFJu9jTF2fd fTJBgRqMXsUxUEmSuCHe QOJXstPy2IdNl3tlQwQ1 wzVNbCyt_RYIYElXacdh oPuQ3ea_xYtJZSAnSd49 BBDTajm3BZZS5HOIVRW_ CbOLwx-X5Jh8YZs47qZau5SHSYF t0p&__tn__=-UK-y-R&c[0]=AT0u6V6fbE2CqtEv2kE 3cXu7dv0-1vmpGNLonb2gXtqlGOO7 Y60va4FFmfFjCgkamIT8 4UQRCzlw3YgaDyUbhpmR Hws3KaRoFG_m0gRlFtyR xrMlQXUd2tmaof_p-C0DMYgm0mDTLu02CYatI ARudPkQ8CYxoXIBmZpUL 8VP6d85EP3yyFB2N6pdF tOntumDt4tOmtq4s397S DJ10lfvkq3FV-s0FsnrYya6DMohE6bfAV z_5zOSUtQ) to make room for other electric vehicle models from Chevy) or the Nissan Leaf, which run between $26,000 and $30,000 – have a maximum range closer to 230 miles which, if driving at 65mph is approximately 3.5 hours.
Who drives at 65mph on an open freeway? The minimum range barely gets you a day in Los Angeles.
This is before, like any battery, the cells lose their maximum charging capacity, which will decrease maximum driving distances.
Recycling Batteries
Like any battery, EV batteries eventually go kaput. Their average life span is ten years.
Recycling EV batteries has been explored and companies continue to try to innovate to secure a circular economy around them. This would mean the original resources used to make one EV battery could be reused and recycled to make new ones.
However, it remains a high-cost, low-benefit endeavor (https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F% 2Fwww.wired.com%2Fst ory%2Fcars-going-electric-what-happens-used-batteries%2F%3Ffbcli d%3DIwAR0lh-vWnwPivhV-s6QJNwSnRRO4xyAmd4cJ T7WpGU4b5GvwYLvrLZO4 UT4&h=AT1Zn4KbbliYkXwo-MG2kmCK_tlBU3oVemWE7 xpz8Q_wubp73FvPD7TTT d3kzyfTWaD8_V_4BcvkC ySUGimVovU0lXq9lHToO 6Ujx2Yr9DZ1L8lm02c4q 6sxICnqkz7-91gloScrvn7iRKu06p8v&__tn__=-UK-y-R&c[0]=AT0u6V6fbE2CqtEv2kE 3cXu7dv0-1vmpGNLonb2gXtqlGOO7 Y60va4FFmfFjCgkamIT8 4UQRCzlw3YgaDyUbhpmR Hws3KaRoFG_m0gRlFtyR xrMlQXUd2tmaof_p-C0DMYgm0mDTLu02CYatI ARudPkQ8CYxoXIBmZpUL 8VP6d85EP3yyFB2N6pdF tOntumDt4tOmtq4s397S DJ10lfvkq3FV-s0FsnrYya6DMohE6bfAV z_5zOSUtQ).

No More Roadtrips
Then there’s the issue of charging stations and availability. You can all but forget about cross country – or even interstate – road trips, Chevy Chase style.

And while most people who can afford the higher performing EVs can also afford to charge them in their driveway in their gated communities, imagine an apartment building with 500 residents all trying to charge their vehicles overnight.

EVs are a classic example of NIMBY (https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F% 2Fwww.theatlantic.co m%2Fnewsletters%2Far chive%2F2022%2F07%2F the-next-generation-of-nimbys%2F670590%2F%3 Ffbclid%3DIwAR0AFepz 1QZKZZWF91zu-FY2IyeJo259IQflj7sdn bWyrCU50kEHcP99SkQ&h=AT3ywxScj4a8Tflh2f BGjVfOoAee7nxmij7Rfb W0nPJP3tN6NfkXeiyNxz abvwVZ24_9aVPTzODwMl pCRCLqjez8ZRv83JlFXW 615uy3sDUbZrsWnqSEup Mf0dVVnHCxa5I04rIE3O TutdwLWKgM&__tn__=-UK-y-R&c[0]=AT0u6V6fbE2CqtEv2kE 3cXu7dv0-1vmpGNLonb2gXtqlGOO7 Y60va4FFmfFjCgkamIT8 4UQRCzlw3YgaDyUbhpmR Hws3KaRoFG_m0gRlFtyR xrMlQXUd2tmaof_p-C0DMYgm0mDTLu02CYatI ARudPkQ8CYxoXIBmZpUL 8VP6d85EP3yyFB2N6pdF tOntumDt4tOmtq4s397S DJ10lfvkq3FV-s0FsnrYya6DMohE6bfAV z_5zOSUtQ) (Not in My Backyard) thinking. It’s okay to pollute the air, strip the earth of natural resources, and employ slave labor in other countries – as long I am free from the guilt of pollution. Ironic, considering it’s safe to bet over half of California’s Tesla owners also have a “Black Lives Matter” sign in their yard.
The truth is there is no perfect solution. As long as humans roam the earth, we will be involved in the consumption of natural resources. Our job is not to reverse this natural order but to be responsible for its participation. Not to be environmentalists, but good stewards of our planet. We can’t do that if we don’t know the true consequences of our decisions.

Newsom - và phong trào xanh nói chung - thích quảng cáo chính sách EV như một giải pháp thay thế miễn phí cuối cùng cho các nguồn năng lượng "bẩn" như khí đốt. Đó không phải là thực tế.

Chủ yếu là v́, giống như nhiều chính sách của ông, chúng tốt về lư thuyết, nhưng khủng khiếp trong thực tế.
Giống như nhiều tầm nh́n lớn khác của ông, tầm nh́n này cũng sẽ thất bại.
Sự thật bất tiện thực sự (The Real Inconvenient Truth)
Newsom - và phong trào xanh nói chung - thích quảng cáo chính sách EV (EV policy (https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F% 2Fwww.greencarreport s.com%2Fnews%2F11394 59_study-ev-policy-around-gasoline-superusers-could-help-the-most%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR 0D37jWZXsEx8fY0-yF7YyJfYJ6zBcG_9lQRd 70DeCdfopEqlTMVJ6dJd E&h=AT1M1KGgLyNUyUO9vp oiA8l1Ow366clrUTjBXW DItOT1QIn1C2-PRcBxR-u-iRh6q9dVA3fwNyYxA_-ati2wmYQG0udwDGyx3wY 5LTFBCc8BeXtFAhagWOv JErOiqOz83t3IqQF1AR_ pwQFPi3SK&__tn__=-UK-y-R&c[0]=AT0u6V6fbE2CqtEv2kE 3cXu7dv0-1vmpGNLonb2gXtqlGOO7 Y60va4FFmfFjCgkamIT8 4UQRCzlw3YgaDyUbhpmR Hws3KaRoFG_m0gRlFtyR xrMlQXUd2tmaof_p-C0DMYgm0mDTLu02CYatI ARudPkQ8CYxoXIBmZpUL 8VP6d85EP3yyFB2N6pdF tOntumDt4tOmtq4s397S DJ10lfvkq3FV-s0FsnrYya6DMohE6bfAV z_5zOSUtQ)) như một giải pháp thay thế miễn phí cuối cùng cho các nguồn năng lượng "bẩn" như khí đốt.
Giống như hầu hết các chính sách tiến bộ, giải pháp không tưởng mà không hy sinh là một lời nói dối.
Hầu hết mọi loại pin EV đều cần cobalt (EV battery requires cobalt (https://www.carwow.co.uk/blog/what-is-cobalt-used-for-in-elecrtic-cars?fbclid=IwAR2dMS IjQlXVpM09Pd8SKU_hxk IiZgjHNqZlWEXcuNOHpu dgU4TegNDgJ2Y#gref)) , một khoáng chất hiếm và đắt tiền được t́m thấy chủ yếu ở Cộng ḥa Dân chủ Congo (Democratic Republic of the Congo (https://www.worldbank.org/en/country/drc/overview?fbclid=IwAR 11nEOg_86Wts1_8cNo6F 6l6iWqGVm8cqvz85-zZdh6w_6Y643QwSJeKQ4 )).

Trong khi Trung Cộng đứng cuối danh sách, chỉ sản xuất 2.200 tấn, quốc gia này dẫn đầu thế giới về sản xuất coban tinh chế với 70% tổng nguồn cung toàn cầu với hầu hết nguyên liệu thô đến từ Congo. Làm thế nào điều đó cho một whammy nhân quyền kép?
Trung Cộng cũng là nước tiêu thụ cobalt hàng đầu với phần lớn được sử dụng để cung cấp cho ngành công nghiệp pin sạc. Việc thúc đẩy xe điện đẩy Mỹ ngày càng vào ṿng tay của ĐCSTC.
Mặc dù một số công ty đă tạo ra pin không có cobalt, nhưng chúng chưa được chứng minh là cung cấp năng lượng cần thiết để cung cấp năng lượng cho xe hơi trong bất kỳ khoảng cách đáng kể nào.
EV là chi phí - và khoảng cách - bị cấm (EVs Are Cost – and Distance – Prohibitive)

Ai lái xe với tốc độ 65 MPH trên xa lộ mở? Phạm vi tối thiểu hầu như không giúp bạn có được một ngày ở Los Angeles.
Đây là trước đây, giống như bất kỳ pin nào, các tế bào mất khả năng sạc tối đa, điều này sẽ làm giảm khoảng cách lái xe tối đa.
Tái chế pin (Recycling Batteries)
Giống như bất kỳ loại pin nào, pin EV cuối cùng cũng kết thúc/tiêu diệt (kaput). Tuổi thọ trung b́nh của nó là mười năm.
Tái chế pin EV đă được khám phá và các công ty tiếp tục cố gắng đổi mới để bảo đảm nền kinh tế tuần hoàn xung quanh chúng. Điều này có nghĩa là các tài nguyên ban đầu được sử dụng để sản xuất một pin EV có thể được tái sử dụng và tái chế để tạo ra pin mới.
Tuy nhiên, nó vẫn là một nỗ lực chi phí cao, lợi ích thấp (high-cost, low-benefit endeavor (https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F% 2Fwww.wired.com%2Fst ory%2Fcars-going-electric-what-happens-used-batteries%2F%3Ffbcli d%3DIwAR2dMSIjQlXVpM 09Pd8SKU_hxkIiZgjHNq ZlWEXcuNOHpudgU4TegN DgJ2Y&h=AT1Zn4KbbliYkXwo-MG2kmCK_tlBU3oVemWE7 xpz8Q_wubp73FvPD7TTT d3kzyfTWaD8_V_4BcvkC ySUGimVovU0lXq9lHToO 6Ujx2Yr9DZ1L8lm02c4q 6sxICnqkz7-91gloScrvn7iRKu06p8v&__tn__=-UK-y-R&c[0]=AT0u6V6fbE2CqtEv2kE 3cXu7dv0-1vmpGNLonb2gXtqlGOO7 Y60va4FFmfFjCgkamIT8 4UQRCzlw3YgaDyUbhpmR Hws3KaRoFG_m0gRlFtyR xrMlQXUd2tmaof_p-C0DMYgm0mDTLu02CYatI ARudPkQ8CYxoXIBmZpUL 8VP6d85EP3yyFB2N6pdF tOntumDt4tOmtq4s397S DJ10lfvkq3FV-s0FsnrYya6DMohE6bfAV z_5zOSUtQ)).

Không c̣n những chuyến đi đường bộ (No More Roadtrips)

EV là một ví dụ kinh điển về tư duy “Không ở sân sau của tôi” (Not in My Backyard, NIMBY (https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F% 2Fwww.theatlantic.co m%2Fnewsletters%2Far chive%2F2022%2F07%2F the-next-generation-of-nimbys%2F670590%2F%3 Ffbclid%3DIwAR2EvobP T8yGAAQCb1HiJ2R_DBuY xe8cN5e5lZVsTjZ3kDKp XBaj-vjqCAk&h=AT3ywxScj4a8Tflh2f BGjVfOoAee7nxmij7Rfb W0nPJP3tN6NfkXeiyNxz abvwVZ24_9aVPTzODwMl pCRCLqjez8ZRv83JlFXW 615uy3sDUbZrsWnqSEup Mf0dVVnHCxa5I04rIE3O TutdwLWKgM&__tn__=-UK-y-R&c[0]=AT0u6V6fbE2CqtEv2kE 3cXu7dv0-1vmpGNLonb2gXtqlGOO7 Y60va4FFmfFjCgkamIT8 4UQRCzlw3YgaDyUbhpmR Hws3KaRoFG_m0gRlFtyR xrMlQXUd2tmaof_p-C0DMYgm0mDTLu02CYatI ARudPkQ8CYxoXIBmZpUL 8VP6d85EP3yyFB2N6pdF tOntumDt4tOmtq4s397S DJ10lfvkq3FV-s0FsnrYya6DMohE6bfAV z_5zOSUtQ)). Không sao khi làm ô nhiễm không khí, tước đoạt tài nguyên thiên nhiên của trái đất và sử dụng lao động nô lệ ở các quốc gia khác - miễn là tôi thoát khỏi cảm giác tội lỗi về ô nhiễm. Trớ trêu thay, xem xét nó an toàn để đặt cược hơn một nửa số chủ sở hữu Tesla của California cũng có một dấu hiệu "Mạng sống của người da đen là quan trọng” (Black Lives Matter) trong sân của họ.
Sự thật là không có giải pháp hoàn hảo. Chừng nào con người c̣n lang thang trên trái đất, chúng ta sẽ tham gia vào việc tiêu thụ tài nguyên thiên nhiên. Công việc của chúng ta không phải là đảo ngược trật tự tự nhiên này mà là chịu trách nhiệm về sự tham gia của nó. Không phải là những nhà môi trường (environmentalists), mà là những người quản lư tốt hành tinh của chúng ta. Chúng ta không thể làm điều đó nếu chúng ta không biết hậu quả (consequences) thực sự của các quyết định của ḿnh.

Newsom – and the green movement in general – loves to pitch EV policy as the ultimate no-cost alternative to “dirty” energy sources such as gas. That isn’t reality.

Electric vehicles, or EVs, are to be the new king of the road.
California already accounts for the majority of the demand for EVs in the country, capturing over 40 percent of the market share.
Yet despite Californian’s desire to virtue signal (https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F% 2Faeon.co%2Fessays%2 Fwhy-virtue-signalling-is-not-just-a-vice-but-an-evolved-tool%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR 2SKPEl1TkAHz1LwQuYaO LdxBhHIiBVcQuY82yfpU-p5ZG6mLf9Ji7eJZA&h=AT3Jn4OmvF517d5Zjh KqNPID-Ae4VQ09_Uk-HtzVQtBKkh1UzTFBwI9_ kqJ0yrZaKrVaMkZnPL6w 2rI6uK3iQwmEv2LyGzHy T8VLTqIQO0R6ZXDDAKMA TbeSlI0uI3--S4YTF3kYy6Jo6toQNCk4&__tn__=-UK-y-R&c[0]=AT0u6V6fbE2CqtEv2kE 3cXu7dv0-1vmpGNLonb2gXtqlGOO7 Y60va4FFmfFjCgkamIT8 4UQRCzlw3YgaDyUbhpmR Hws3KaRoFG_m0gRlFtyR xrMlQXUd2tmaof_p-C0DMYgm0mDTLu02CYatI ARudPkQ8CYxoXIBmZpUL 8VP6d85EP3yyFB2N6pdF tOntumDt4tOmtq4s397S DJ10lfvkq3FV-s0FsnrYya6DMohE6bfAV z_5zOSUtQ), Newsom’s push for zero-emission roadways is hitting some major roadblocks. Mostly because, like many of his policies, they are good in theory, but terrible in practice.
Like many of his other grand visions, this one will also fall flat.
The Real Inconvenient Truth
Newsom – and the green movement in general – loves to pitch EV policy (https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F% 2Fwww.greencarreport s.com%2Fnews%2F11394 59_study-ev-policy-around-gasoline-superusers-could-help-the-most%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR 27mGeFOk3RyVwAFVagvT OPdQnamqU80Vv1cWZrR3 54-cmQKqaq7xx-Z38&h=AT1M1KGgLyNUyUO9vp oiA8l1Ow366clrUTjBXW DItOT1QIn1C2-PRcBxR-u-iRh6q9dVA3fwNyYxA_-ati2wmYQG0udwDGyx3wY 5LTFBCc8BeXtFAhagWOv JErOiqOz83t3IqQF1AR_ pwQFPi3SK&__tn__=-UK-y-R&c[0]=AT0u6V6fbE2CqtEv2kE 3cXu7dv0-1vmpGNLonb2gXtqlGOO7 Y60va4FFmfFjCgkamIT8 4UQRCzlw3YgaDyUbhpmR Hws3KaRoFG_m0gRlFtyR xrMlQXUd2tmaof_p-C0DMYgm0mDTLu02CYatI ARudPkQ8CYxoXIBmZpUL 8VP6d85EP3yyFB2N6pdF tOntumDt4tOmtq4s397S DJ10lfvkq3FV-s0FsnrYya6DMohE6bfAV z_5zOSUtQ) as the ultimate no-cost alternative to “dirty” energy sources such as gas.
Like most progressive policies, the utopian solution without sacrifice is a lie.

The DRC is also rich in other natural resources (https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F% 2Fwww.unep.org%2Fnew s-and-stories%2Fstory%2Fca n-democratic-republic-congos-mineral-resources-provide-pathway-peace%3Ffbclid%3DIwA R2dMSIjQlXVpM09Pd8SK U_hxkIiZgjHNqZlWEXcu NOHpudgU4TegNDgJ2Y&h=AT2cfcR9jxhymoc8sI fizk_UqKxu8QvgMOpxIA UR1FzJb7w7cpiJHF51sd Il0_i-0xkCmHktBOTM3GCB8y4m Y20kltUtkUlC99yO2GQB QtKQRxNsgNqQkLpQY1kM vZAz12wuwZngeB9LxgYN 5H4t&__tn__=-UK-y-R&c[0]=AT0u6V6fbE2CqtEv2kE 3cXu7dv0-1vmpGNLonb2gXtqlGOO7 Y60va4FFmfFjCgkamIT8 4UQRCzlw3YgaDyUbhpmR Hws3KaRoFG_m0gRlFtyR xrMlQXUd2tmaof_p-C0DMYgm0mDTLu02CYatI ARudPkQ8CYxoXIBmZpUL 8VP6d85EP3yyFB2N6pdF tOntumDt4tOmtq4s397S DJ10lfvkq3FV-s0FsnrYya6DMohE6bfAV z_5zOSUtQ) such as copper, zinc, coltan, cassiterite, gold, bauxite, diamond, oil, and gas. Yet it is also one of the poorest countries in the world, with a gross national income of approximately $550 per person as measured in U.S. dollars.

While China is at the bottom of the list, producing only 2,200 MT, the country leads the world in refined cobalt production at 70 percent of the total global supply with most of the raw material coming from the Congo. How’s that for a double human rights whammy?
China is also the top consumer of cobalt with most of it used to supply the rechargeable battery industry. The push for EVs drives the U.S. increasingly into the arms of the CCP.
While some companies have created batteries without cobalt, these have not proven to provide the necessary energy to power a car for any significant distance.
EVs Are Cost – and Distance – Prohibitive
EVs are not exactly the ideal vehicle to hit the open road.

The car costs $139,650. The Tesla S Model will take you 405 miles on a single charge, or about the distance from Los Angeles to San Francisco and the vehicle sells to the tune of almost $90,000.
The most reasonably priced EVs – and by reasonable, I mean the cheapest of the models like the Chevy Bolt (which is set to be discontinued (https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F% 2Fwww.fastcompany.co m%2F90891404%2Fwhy-did-gm-kill-the-chevy-bolt-electric-vehicle-ev%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR36 jjxmlTN6GiAupU3_C5Kx 9RZdANLjXMzzEn4cJeMK pwzSfOXt-DNINnU&h=AT1RXO6mFJu9jTF2fd fTJBgRqMXsUxUEmSuCHe QOJXstPy2IdNl3tlQwQ1 wzVNbCyt_RYIYElXacdh oPuQ3ea_xYtJZSAnSd49 BBDTajm3BZZS5HOIVRW_ CbOLwx-X5Jh8YZs47qZau5SHSYF t0p&__tn__=-UK-y-R&c[0]=AT0u6V6fbE2CqtEv2kE 3cXu7dv0-1vmpGNLonb2gXtqlGOO7 Y60va4FFmfFjCgkamIT8 4UQRCzlw3YgaDyUbhpmR Hws3KaRoFG_m0gRlFtyR xrMlQXUd2tmaof_p-C0DMYgm0mDTLu02CYatI ARudPkQ8CYxoXIBmZpUL 8VP6d85EP3yyFB2N6pdF tOntumDt4tOmtq4s397S DJ10lfvkq3FV-s0FsnrYya6DMohE6bfAV z_5zOSUtQ) to make room for other electric vehicle models from Chevy) or the Nissan Leaf, which run between $26,000 and $30,000 – have a maximum range closer to 230 miles which, if driving at 65mph is approximately 3.5 hours.
Who drives at 65mph on an open freeway? The minimum range barely gets you a day in Los Angeles.
This is before, like any battery, the cells lose their maximum charging capacity, which will decrease maximum driving distances.
Recycling Batteries
Like any battery, EV batteries eventually go kaput. Their average life span is ten years.
Recycling EV batteries has been explored and companies continue to try to innovate to secure a circular economy around them. This would mean the original resources used to make one EV battery could be reused and recycled to make new ones.
However, it remains a high-cost, low-benefit endeavor (https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F% 2Fwww.wired.com%2Fst ory%2Fcars-going-electric-what-happens-used-batteries%2F%3Ffbcli d%3DIwAR0lh-vWnwPivhV-s6QJNwSnRRO4xyAmd4cJ T7WpGU4b5GvwYLvrLZO4 UT4&h=AT1Zn4KbbliYkXwo-MG2kmCK_tlBU3oVemWE7 xpz8Q_wubp73FvPD7TTT d3kzyfTWaD8_V_4BcvkC ySUGimVovU0lXq9lHToO 6Ujx2Yr9DZ1L8lm02c4q 6sxICnqkz7-91gloScrvn7iRKu06p8v&__tn__=-UK-y-R&c[0]=AT0u6V6fbE2CqtEv2kE 3cXu7dv0-1vmpGNLonb2gXtqlGOO7 Y60va4FFmfFjCgkamIT8 4UQRCzlw3YgaDyUbhpmR Hws3KaRoFG_m0gRlFtyR xrMlQXUd2tmaof_p-C0DMYgm0mDTLu02CYatI ARudPkQ8CYxoXIBmZpUL 8VP6d85EP3yyFB2N6pdF tOntumDt4tOmtq4s397S DJ10lfvkq3FV-s0FsnrYya6DMohE6bfAV z_5zOSUtQ).

No More Roadtrips
Then there’s the issue of charging stations and availability. You can all but forget about cross country – or even interstate – road trips, Chevy Chase style. The classic symbol of American freedom and family-favorite summer pastime (https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F% 2Felectrek.co%2F2023 %2F05%2F02%2Felectri fy-america-road-trip%2F%3Ffbclid%3DI wAR3Mj7NYsZJhgfy9PGB rxPPpkE4mr5C5pk_LjJm dL5n9G7f2Ulo73HScGpc&h=AT1XYAE10FIVHmiV6x mfCcAKgnQuoWDsDuffiF EvyenawFgJtGelUEwGvl xVTWKsGEB0cpEQG7mgup a9ko1pIAFChzB0N8rL-k89iWxeip8XUOTSiS9YP LfdSBf_SnepAW8wS2pOq bp2dB1ql2dB&__tn__=-UK-y-R&c[0]=AT0u6V6fbE2CqtEv2kE 3cXu7dv0-1vmpGNLonb2gXtqlGOO7 Y60va4FFmfFjCgkamIT8 4UQRCzlw3YgaDyUbhpmR Hws3KaRoFG_m0gRlFtyR xrMlQXUd2tmaof_p-C0DMYgm0mDTLu02CYatI ARudPkQ8CYxoXIBmZpUL 8VP6d85EP3yyFB2N6pdF tOntumDt4tOmtq4s397S DJ10lfvkq3FV-s0FsnrYya6DMohE6bfAV z_5zOSUtQ) is not possible with an EV.

And while most people who can afford the higher performing EVs can also afford to charge them in their driveway in their gated communities, imagine an apartment building with 500 residents all trying to charge their vehicles overnight.

EVs are a classic example of NIMBY (https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F% 2Fwww.theatlantic.co m%2Fnewsletters%2Far chive%2F2022%2F07%2F the-next-generation-of-nimbys%2F670590%2F%3 Ffbclid%3DIwAR0AFepz 1QZKZZWF91zu-FY2IyeJo259IQflj7sdn bWyrCU50kEHcP99SkQ&h=AT3ywxScj4a8Tflh2f BGjVfOoAee7nxmij7Rfb W0nPJP3tN6NfkXeiyNxz abvwVZ24_9aVPTzODwMl pCRCLqjez8ZRv83JlFXW 615uy3sDUbZrsWnqSEup Mf0dVVnHCxa5I04rIE3O TutdwLWKgM&__tn__=-UK-y-R&c[0]=AT0u6V6fbE2CqtEv2kE 3cXu7dv0-1vmpGNLonb2gXtqlGOO7 Y60va4FFmfFjCgkamIT8 4UQRCzlw3YgaDyUbhpmR Hws3KaRoFG_m0gRlFtyR xrMlQXUd2tmaof_p-C0DMYgm0mDTLu02CYatI ARudPkQ8CYxoXIBmZpUL 8VP6d85EP3yyFB2N6pdF tOntumDt4tOmtq4s397S DJ10lfvkq3FV-s0FsnrYya6DMohE6bfAV z_5zOSUtQ) (Not in My Backyard) thinking. It’s okay to pollute the air, strip the earth of natural resources, and employ slave labor in other countries – as long I am free from the guilt of pollution. Ironic, considering it’s safe to bet over half of California’s Tesla owners also have a “Black Lives Matter” sign in their yard.
The truth is there is no perfect solution. As long as humans roam the earth, we will be involved in the consumption of natural resources. Our job is not to reverse this natural order but to be responsible for its participation. Not to be environmentalists, but good stewards of our planet. We can’t do that if we don’t know the true consequences of our decisions.
