1、 0 1 TESLA&MORE ELECTRIC VEHICLE INVESTIGATIVE REPORT III June 2022 PREFACE Recently,an electric vehicle(EV)companys exhaust gas nuisance incident has aroused public concern and once again brought the environmental issues of automobile manufacturing into public view.In addressing global climate chan

2、ge,the sales of electric vehicles,represented by Tesla and BYD,continue to maintain strong momentum.However,it must be noted that even though electric vehicles do not produce exhaust emissions in the use phase,electricity mainly comes from coal-fired power plants,so there are still considerable poll

3、ution emissions.In the manufacturing process,carbon emissions,as well as gaseous pollutants and other pollutants,are significantly higher than in traditional fossil fuel vehicles.With the expanding production capacity,the environmental impact may increase if the electric vehicle companies do not eff

4、ectively control pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions in the supply chains.Source:Tesla Impact Report 2021 2 The manufacturing process for both electric vehicles and traditional fuel vehicles involves casting,welding,stamping,heat treatment,electroplating,painting,injection molding,and other manu

5、facturing units.These processes generate a variety of pollutants such as exhaust gas,wastewater,hazardous waste,and a large number of greenhouse gas emissions.Exhaust gas emission is one of the key focuses of government environmental supervision because it generates dust and odor,affects residents i

6、n local communities,and causes public complaints and even social conflicts.In 2021,the Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs(IPE)and Lvse Jiangnan Public Environmental Concerned Center(Lvse Jiangnan)found,in the investigation on environmental problems in the EV supply chain1,that several ent
