Just something to say on the topic of EV cars and buses: According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, most of the nation's electricity was generated by natural gas, nuclear energy, and coal in 2020. Electricity is also produced from renewable sources such as wind, hydropower, solar power, biomass, wind, and geothermal. Nuclear plants add the greatest volume of power in the European Union. In 2020, 685 terawatt hours of electricity was generated by nuclear energy. Among renewable energies, wind is the largest contributor, at 396 terawatt hours. Point EV transportation comes from a larger percent of nuclear power, natural gas, Coal, when you add in wind power keep in mind the ten of thousands of birds killed A commercial average-sized wind turbine (2 megawatts) costs about $2.6–4 million Once you purchase and build a wind turbine, there are ongoing maintenance costs to consider $42,000–$48,000 per year Estimates put the tear-down cost of a single modern wind turbine, which can rise from 250 to 500 feet above the ground, at $200,000 . Wind turbines can make between $3000–$10,000 or more per year depending on the size and kilowatt capacity of the turbine. Farmers on wind farms can maintain their own electricity production and guarantee a lower price for at least 20 years How much does it cost to replace an electric bus battery? When will that replacement be necessary? The traction battery on an electric school bus could cost around $50,000 to replace, if replacement costs are not covered under warranty. Battery capacity and bus range will decline over time Made in the USA, the ZX5 features faster acceleration, industry-leading gradability, and the most battery storage on the road today for any 40-foot electric bus, offering a range of more than 300 miles per charge. Used up EV car batteries are hazardous waste, Excessive mining of lithium leaves the few pieces of fertile land barren. Lithium mining activities destroy the habitats and minerals that plants require to grow. So, lithium extraction is responsible for the onset of desertification in several parts of the world Recycling costs Tesla about $4.50 per pound of battery. Assuming a Tesla battery is 1,500 pounds, it costs about $6,750 to recycle an entire Tesla battery pack.
