Electric vehicles seem like an unvarnished win-win for the environment, but circular economy researcher Jessika Richter, associate senior lecturer at Lund University, weighs in on the top issues their boosters need to tackle.
Listen here on the latest ep of Mongabay's podcast, the first in a series on circular economy issues: *Fixing EVs’ ecological and social problems needs circularity and transport redesign* https://news.mongabay.com/podcast/2024/11/fixing-evs-ecological-and-social-problems-needs-circularity-and-transport-redesign/ *“Public transport, biking, walking need to be part of the discussion when we’re talking about transport. It can’t be just about cars, and any conversation that is just about cars or vehicles is too narrow at solving a problem, because it’s only going to be shifting things,” Richter says.* Listen at the link above or find the Mongabay Explores podcast wherever you listen to podcasts, from Apple <https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mongabay-explores/id1592357394> to Spotify <https://open.spotify.com/show/4YTR8ahAJ87WeNuW3KjQvG?si=8476104c42344a41>, and you can also listen to all episodes here <https://news.mongabay.com/series/mongabay-explores-podcast/> on the Mongabay website.
