For lack of better data, let's assume that this makes roughly the ''difference'' between manufacturing electric vehicles vs fossil fuel vehicles. This number would be added to the ''industrial'' section of [[energy demand]]. | For lack of better data, let's assume that this makes roughly the ''difference'' between manufacturing electric vehicles vs fossil fuel vehicles.

However, this estimate currently doesn't include the energy involved in ''extracting'' the minerals to make the battery - only the energy in manufacturing the battery. Mineral-related energy is probably quite high in the case of [[lithium-ion batteries]], especially for the cobalt.{{qn}} It would likely be much lower for [[sodium-ion batteries]] made from more abundant minerals.{{qn}} | |||
