  • Summary

  • Emissions from transport account for almost a third of global carbon dioxide emissions – and they’re growing.  Enter electric vehicles. Electric cars are far more energy-efficient than cars that run on fossil fuels. But they may not be a cure-all for our environmental problems: emissions from electric vehicle production are higher than emissions produced during the traditional car manufacturing process, and they are only as green as the power used to charge their batteries.  In this event our guests explored whether electric vehicles will solve our transport and emissions problems or if they are simply a false start in the journey towards green roads. Chaired by Kamal Ahmed, the panel featured Iberdrola’s Head of New Initiatives, Innovation & Sustainability Division Enrique Meroño and award-winning transport expert Christian Wolmar.  This event, in partnership with Iberdrola, was recorded on November 16 2021, and was produced by Feyi Adegbite with editing by Mark Roberts.  — We’d love to hear your feedback and what you think we should talk about next, who we should have on and what our future debates should be about.
