Tech News 1: Scaling up battery production drives down carbon emissions significantly

[bob_turner]

A common criticism of electric vehicle production is the high carbon emissions from battery production. But new research from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden shows how scaling up production through enormous "gigafactories" can cut the environmental impact significantly, compared to small-scale industrial production. And when the energy used to power the factories comes from green sources, the emissions can be reduced to roughly one quarter of emissions in results presented a few years...
