Electric motors are often seen as the ideal solution for cleaner and greener mobility. However, there are several hidden risks that can go unnoticed. While we often focus on their benefits, it is important to understand the underlying issues. <\/p>\n

One of the main risks of electric motors is related to the batteries.<\/strong> The latter, composed of lithium and rare metals, can be prone to overheating and fires. In some extreme conditions, such as high temperatures or accidents, lithium-ion batteries can catch fire, releasing toxic gases.<\/strong> Although these cases remain rare, they pose a real safety question, especially for the rapidly expanding electric vehicles. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.0″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”50px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ header_2_text_color=”#26292B” header_2_font_size=”22px” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”5px|||0px|false|false” custom_padding=”|||20px|false|false” border_width_left=”5px” border_color_left=”rgba(95,114,127,0.18)” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n Another challenge lies in the safety of the charging infrastructure.<\/strong> Currently, charging stations are not always uniform in terms of quality and reliability. Some may be improperly installed or may not provide the necessary protection against power surges or short circuits, posing a risk to both users and vehicles. It is therefore crucial to check the reliability of the charging systems to ensure optimal safety. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.0″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”50px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ header_2_text_color=”#26292B” header_2_font_size=”22px” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”5px|||0px|false|false” custom_padding=”|||20px|false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ border_width_left=”5px” border_color_left=”rgba(95,114,127,0.18)” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Even though electric motors are often touted as being more environmentally friendly, the extraction of materials needed to make batteries remains a concern. The process of extracting these rare metals is particularly energy-intensive and can lead to environmental disasters, especially in countries where these resources are exploited.<\/strong> In addition, battery recycling poses another important challenge. Currently, only a few facilities in the world are able to recycle these batteries efficiently, and their decomposition produces toxic waste. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.0″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”50px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ header_2_text_color=”#26292B” header_2_font_size=”22px” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”5px|||0px|false|false” custom_padding=”|||20px|false|false” border_width_left=”5px” border_color_left=”rgba(95,114,127,0.18)” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\nCharging infrastructure: safety needs to be improved<\/strong><\/h2>\n
