Today we spent part of the day discussing how electric vehicles compare to gas cars. As well, we went a little bit into the ethics of lithium mining. Lithium mining is not very widely discussed, but there are a lot of issues with it. Luckily, one of the biggest EV manufacturers, Tesla, has reduced its lithium use. We also discussed how electric vehicles still make gas emission, albeit less.

Overall, I believe we had a very productive and informative day surrounding electric vehicles.
