A recent study by the non-governmental organization Carbon Tracker has found that countries like Australia, Africa, Asia, and South America are at risk of becoming dumping grounds for electric cars, which would result in serious environmental pollution.
The non-governmental organization Carbon Tracker has stated that since China, Europe, and North America have implemented strict regulations and mandated the switch to electric cars, most of their old vehicles will be sent to countries that do not have the capacity to produce cars, turning them into dumping grounds for used cars.

On the other hand, countries like India, Australia, Thailand, Turkey, Indonesia, Malaysia, Russia, and South Africa do not produce electric cars themselves but mainly import used electric cars from other countries. This has turned these countries into increasingly similar dumping grounds for used cars.
These countries need to pay more attention to the environment, implement measures, conduct research, and develop the capability to produce electric cars in the future.
According to some reports, countries that do not make efforts to promote the development of electric cars not only harm the environment but also suffer financial damages.
For example, every year, the entire African continent has to spend about $80 billion (1,930 trillion VND) to import fuel. However, if they implement policies to develop electric cars, Africa, Asia, and South America combined can save over $100 billion (2,412 trillion VND) in fuel imports each year.
