The EV Kool aid line is ever growing but I won’t get in the queue. It takes FIVE times the energy to build one of those contraptions. There’s no place to dispose of one ton batteries when their five year shelf life expires. The power that drives the charging stations is mostly coal driven... It’s insanity to support electric vehicles.

Your data is a little stale

Battery life has a warrantee of 8 years

Companies like ABTC, (American Battery Technology Co), Redwood, And others are being built today to recover the materials used in the batteries. Lithium is now $70k/metric ton, Nickle is $25k, Cobalt is over $80k. You seriously believe they are going to a dump?

The bodies are usually Aluminum, so that’s recovered. Plus there is copper that is valuable.

Don’t want an EV? It’s your money, your choice. They aren’t for everyone, but they are getting better and better
