It will become apparent that, given<br \/>\nGermany&#8217;s current electricity mix, the carbon footprint of an electric vehicle is relatively poor, especially when the energy-intensive production of the battery is taken into account. At present, a relevant reduction in CO2 emissions can only be achieved by switching from cars to other means of transport. However, with the increasing share of electricity from renewable energy sources, the balance will also improve significantly for electric cars in the future. In addition to these emission considerations, the lecture will also address possible advances in the achievable energy density of batteries and aspects of recycling electric vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>The lecture will take place at the <strong>Schleswig-Holstein K\u00fcnstlerhaus, Ottestra\u00dfe 1, 24340 Eckernf\u00f6rde.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Admission<\/strong>: Non-members \u20ac5.
