Men that produce oil for my car diesel truck.
Children that produce lithium for my e-car
The issue with child labor is not with lithium, but the cobalt used in the batteries.
@Dhiltong
Tthe extraction methods for lithium and cobalt can be very energy intensive – leading to air and water pollution, land degradation, and potential for groundwater contamination.
Why diesel is better vs electric
More environmentally friendly solution for your driving. Diesel vehicles are more energy-efficient than traditional gas cars and have some advantages over existing electric cars. Electric vehicles, due to their complex batteries, actually have a higher carbon footprint when first created.
A sparingly used diesel vehicle will have less of a carbon footprint than an electric vehicle used very frequently and needs a battery.
Electric Vehicles Are Still Extremely Expensive. Diesel Vehicles Are Less Costly . Electric vehicles may have costly battery changes (depending on the vehicle itself). Diesel engines are simple and easy to maintain.
Diesel Vehicles Are More Powerful. If your vehicles need to do any towing or need to be able to perform in difficult environments, you may want to consider a diesel. Diesel engines have more horsepower and torque than equivalent electric vehicle engines.
For commercial driving, having an insufficiently powered vehicle could be ineffective at best and dangerous at worst.
Comparatively, some diesel vehicles have been fit to take advantage of vegetable oil and other waste oil, rather than crude oil.
Both Vehicles Ultimately Get Their Electricity from the Same Source. Electric vehicles get their energy from the grid. Grid power could be from anything - even coal . While electric vehicles are more efficient than diesel cars or gas-powered cars, keep in mind that ultimately they get their energy from the same source: fossil fuels.
