Data from: extended use and end of life in the Global South: a transportation justice perspective of US-Mexico second-hand vehicle trade

The research examines the socio-economic and environmental
implications of second-hand electric vehicle (SH EV) trade between the US
and Mexico. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the study analyzes data
from national surveys, vehicle registration databases, and demographic
sources to assess the benefits and risks associated with SH EVs for
low-income communities in Mexico. It explores how these vehicles impact
mobility, environmental justice, and economic well-being, particularly
focusing on the end-of-life management of electric vehicle batteries. The
findings aim to inform policy-making in both the US and Mexico, advocating
for regulations that minimize environmental burdens while maximizing the
benefits for communities dependent on SH EVs.
