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

Can you discuss the claim that it takes FIVE times the energy to build an EV? Or that the average cost of an EV is 60k plus vs 30k for a fossil fueled vehicles? And after eight years where do we deposit the barge loads of spent batteries?
