5/5

➡️ Tho batteries are likely to play an imp role in the emission impacts of EV transition, assessing the subnational distribution involves huge uncertainties as it depends on factors like battery technology choices and EV supply chain development

4/5

➡️ The emission-intensive nature of EV manufacturing underscores the importance of end-of-pipe controls for manufacturing activities. This is especially crucial for China, as it currently dominates some of the most important but polluting processes of the EV supply chain

3/5

➡️ Manufacturing EVs can create new air pollution hotspots in regions where minerals for battery cathodes are mined and refined

In particular, refining nickel sulfate to produce the nickel-based cathodes of Li-ion batteries can cause substantial SO2 emissions
