Is the electric car really the solution to climate change — or is it part of a deeper environmental contradiction?
As nations race toward electrification, governments promote EV subsidies, and manufacturers scale production, a critical question remains: Do electric cars truly reduce global warming, or do they simply shift emissions from tailpipes to power plants and mining fields?
This book explores the full picture.
Inside, you will discover:
• The science of global warming and transport emissions
• How electric vehicles actually work
• The hidden environmental cost of lithium, cobalt, and battery production
• Life-cycle carbon comparisons between EVs and petrol vehicles
• The role of coal-heavy electricity grids
• The economics of EV adoption
• Urban air quality improvements and public health benefits
• The ethical and environmental justice concerns behind battery minerals
• The future of battery innovation, smart grids, and sustainable cities
Balanced, research-based, and forward-looking, this book goes beyond hype and criticism. It explains the real climate impact of electric cars within the broader transition toward renewable energy and systemic mobility reform.
Whether you are a student, policymaker, engineer, climate activist, or informed citizen, this book equips you with data, context, and critical insight to understand one of the most important debates of our time.
Electric vehicles are not a magic solution.
But they are not a myth either.
They are part of a larger transformation — and this book shows you exactly where they stand.
