400 mile electric RV

Several points.
That Volvo report is a very extensive "life cycle" study of "carbon parity". I would love to see one from ALL other BEV manufacturers belly up and provide carbon parity data.
Since GHG in USA is on the decline and BEVs compose less than 6% of automobiles on the road, hard to make a relationship between the two.
And we have the ugly environmental issue of Thacker Pass with open mining for lithium, and claims by Indian Tribes.
RENO, Nev. — Tribal lawyers are asking a U.S. judge in Nevada to reconsider her earlier refusal to block digging at a proposed lithium mine near the Oregon line where they say newly uncovered evidence proves it was the sacred site of a massacre of dozens of Native Americans in 1865.
The new motion filed in federal court in Reno includes an 1865 newspaper report and two eyewitness accounts of how at least 31 Paiute men, women and children were “murdered by federal soldiers” at Thacker Pass.
The accounts were in an autobiography first published in 1929 by a well-known American labor organizer, Bill Haywood. One was from a cavalry volunteer who participated in the slaughter and the other by a tribal member who survived it.
Nevada Lithium Corp.’s construction is scheduled to begin earlier next year at what would be the largest lithium mine in the nation and the biggest open pit lithium mine in the world.
Lithium is a key component in electric vehicle batteries. Demand for the mineral is expected to triple over the next five years.
The only significant lithium mine now operating in the U.S. is in Nevada. Another planned halfway between Reno and Las Vegas by Ioneer Ltd. also faces legal challenges from environmentalists fighting to protect a rare desert wildflower that the Fish and Wildlife Service formally proposed last week to be listed as an endangered species. ....

If Indian Tribal Rights, environment damage and endangered species were reasons to shut down the Keystone Pipeline...then why are the same folks ignoring identical concerns for Thacker Pass?
"...Do you think in all things
the majority is right?
That men with individuality
should never fight?
Can you hate a man
that shouts a freedom cry?
Well then, Mr, you're a better man than I..."
