In this week's What We're Watching, Rosie, from the YouTube channel Engineering with Rosie, discusses the problem with EV manufacturing: emissions. Despite their claims of "zero-emission" or "clean", the production of EV batteries create a high carbon footprint. Rosie takes you through the journey of building an electric car and looking at where digital or virtual twins can help cut emissions, from sourcing materials for batteries to optimzing metals for the cost structure to cutting waste on the factory floor. Explore how smarter factories can tackle emissions today and what challenges still remain.
