You forgot the fact that there is yet no large scale recycling of the battery materials. This is becoming a huge problem no one talks about. These things are an environmental disaster. Ice cars are well above 90% recycleable.

Oh I didn’t forget the battery recycling I just didn’t feel like listing ALL the negatives.....and the mining of rare earth minerals to manufacture those batteries is an ugly business that no one wants to talk about as well.

Not to mention a lot of those rare earth minerals come from china......but hey, what could go wrong? 🤷‍♂️

There are many large scale battery recycling plants in the USA and Europe. There is no shortage of recycling capacities for LiIon (contrary to the other ganggreen’s pet peeves like solar panels or wind turbines), so I don’t buy the “environment disaster” hysteria.

Surprisingly, LiIon batteries don’t contain any toxic chemicals and is quite easy to recycle. I’ve visited a recycling site, it’s very large scale, highly automated and highly profitable (our tax is at work), something rich countries industry is still capable to do.

You are so out of date ...
