How much pollution does the production of an electric car cause?

Posted by admin on March 9th, 2011 and filed under pollution | 7 Comments »

I am finding this a difficult question to find the answer to but how much pollution is produced when an electric car is made? I mean the actual in factory production? Any help appreciated.

lets compare here:

these are the very basic steps on how the electric car is made

1: Lead (essential battery ingredient) is mined in africa (environmentalists scream bloody murder when its mined)

2: Nickel (essential battery ingredient) is mined in Canada (environmentalists scream bloody murder when its mined)

3: Nickel and Lead are turned into car batteries in the USA (fossil fuels were used to ship it there)

4: Batteries are flown to Japan, and put in Toyota’s Electric cars

5: Cars are distributed all over the world for purchase

6: buyer purchase’s his electric car from his local Toyota dealer, 50 km’s from his house.

7: due to the lack of range, he gets 20 km/s from his house, and runs out of electricity

8: He plugs it in an electric socket, and after the 16 hour charge cycle is complete, he goes home. Now, before you say thats a price worth paying, lets not forget that the electricity put in the "tank" is from a coal power plant, which the environmentalists want torn down.

Now, lets see how a gasoline powered car is made

1: engine is designed and built in Japan

2: engine is placed in car, which was made in Japan

3: Cars are distributed all over the world for purchase

4: buyer purchase’s his electric car from his local Toyota dealer, 50 km’s from his house.

5: he gets home safely, has dinner, then goes and shows off his new car to his friends.

As well, top gear took a toyota prius (granted, its a hybrid, but the technology is very similar) and a BMW 3 series, and drove the prius at its grip limits (which are highway speeds, and put the beamer behind it, at the exact same pace. the prius ran out of gas 15 minutes before the BMW

as well, the best electric car (which is a prototype right now) can only do 100 km’s, and as mentioned, needs 16 hours to charge, where the electricity is from the already heavily strained coal powered electricity system.

also, as a side note, the audi quattro won the WRC rally championship in 1984, and gets 30mpg. Most of 2011 electric cars get 34mpg, (if the math is done accurately & precisely) and the people are stunned by the incredible savings, and fuel economy?????? yyyyyeeeeeaaaaah. ok then.

conclusion: not only are electric cars harder on the environment than gas cars will ever be, but they have terrible mileage at the end of the day

How can you pass a urine test if it only been two days?

How can you pass a urine test for crystal meth if it’s only been two days?

Mix one quart methanol (wood alcohol), one quart gasoline, and one gallon milk. Then stop doing meth and other illegal drugs. Throw the mixture down the sink, and hope that you’ll pass the test next time.

What do you think of my poem?

What do you think of my "poem"? I wrote it when I was inspired by my imagination around 4 in the morning:

In a world of phantom is where I walk;
A world the shadow of my mind has composed

Where the night sky blows extraordinary hue in it,
and where the stars shine down their brightest

Where my humming tunes and wind cast a spell behind me,
making every rotted flower blossom, and every tall tree grow its bright, red apples

I fall at this blanket of pure, green grass
Smelling the caramel scent in the warm air surrounding me

Listening to the waterfall drop into its own mist,
Watching the fireflies float around above me

And so I pull the biggest dandelion off the ground beside me, blowing its white, dusty petals into the air,
Letting time fly by…never wanting to leave this dreamland.

It’s really beautiful. I really like the whole theme, like being in a dream land. Very well done!

Anyway i can pass emissions testing without a catalytic converter?

i bought a car without cats,(i know i need them for emissions) im curius as to if theres any way for me to cheat or avoid the emissions test for inspection. i have a 99T/A in brunswick county, nc 28451

with diesels you pretty much can, with petrol’s you have to basically find a garage that’s willing to pass you on a m.o.t regardless of the emissions. its not what you know its who you know
