Abstract
Abstract While Electrical vehicles have a place in our future, policy makers and automakers must first acknowledge that current EV technologies negatively impact the environment through resource depletion and water impacts in developing nations, that the minerals needed for current battery technologies are limited, and that there is a lack of consumer demand due to inconvenience and cost. This article focuses on these issues which lawmakers, policymakers, and the automotive industry must address.
期刊介绍:
The Environmental Claims Journal is a quarterly journal that focuses on the many types of claims and liabilities that result from environmental exposures. The ECJ considers environmental claims under older business insurance policies, coverage and claims under more recent environmental insurance policies, as well as toxic tort claims. Exposures and claims from all environmental media are considered: air, drinking water, groundwater, soil, chemicals in commerce and naturally occurring chemicals. The journal also considers the laws, regulations, and case law that form the basis for claims. The journal would be of interest to environmental and insurance attorneys, insurance professionals, claims professionals, and environmental consultants.
