What's Wrong with EV's?
Michael Sherry
They have to dig up 200,000+kg to make one 400kg battery.
Just manufacturing the battery can have debt of 10-40 tons of co2.
It takes 100-300 barrels of oil to make a battery with one barrel's worth of energy.
Demand for, cobalt, lithium and zinc will increase by 400-4000%. Current capacity cannot cope with the required production.
A 400kg battery only has 8kg of recyclable material. Companies have stopped replacing batteries because they are so expensive to dispose of; they have been putting them in storage so far, but even that is getting expensive, that is why they only replace part of the total battery now. Replacement batteries can be in the tens of thousands of dollars.
I wonder why we don’t get told about those things ?
