Episode 4: Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Sustainability
In this episode of Eco-Echo, host Nil Kıran is joined by energy systems expert Kerem Cevani to explore the electrifying rise of Electric Vehicles (EVs) and their role in shaping a sustainable future. Are EVs the silver bullet for transportation emissions—or are we overlooking key trade-offs in battery production, grid stress, and infrastructure gaps?
From zero tailpipe emissions and 130+ MPGe efficiency to the ethical complexities of lithium mining and the promise of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, this episode takes a critical but hopeful look at how EVs fit into the broader environmental puzzle. Backed by insights from the IEA, MIT, and real-world policy shifts across the US and EU, we dive deep into what makes EVs both a climate solution and a challenge to get right.
Whether you're already plugged in or just EV-curious, this conversation breaks down what it really takes to electrify our roads—and why smart policy, clean energy, and sustainable design must drive us forward.
