Let’s wait for the Tesla salesmen around here to tell us why it won’t be any problem...

No problem. Just throw them on the heaps of windmill blades.

The Lithium in batteries can’t be economically recycled?

Stated it since the very beginning on FR: anything you plug into an electrical outlet is an appliance, not a car.

U.S. President Joe Biden wants to make America a key player in the EV battery industry

Senile Joe's puppeteers are children. They don't have a clue about this.

Remember the curly-cue mercury bomblets [CFL bulbs].

This is an area where I think the problem will find a solution. If there is money to be made by recycling the batteries, recyclers will be generated to meet the challenge. Unless environmental/business regulations or perverse incentives get in the way, eight years is plenty of time to meet the challenge.

For the record, I see EVs as a niche vehicle if it were not for the heavy hand of government regulations, especially CAFE standards.

There were law suits over three watt cell phone EMI / RFI causing cancer. Exactly what do they think sitting on top of a 4000MW battery for hours at a time is gonna do to you? The entire vehicle wiring harness is a giant loop antenna transmitting 100db H fields at all kinds of harmonics.

My pacemaker manual says I can't run a battery powered weedwhacker without harm. I think that covers EV's too! According to the chart I have in the manual I can't go within 6.3 meters of a charger or the batteries.

Look at the end of the article. Someone else has to plug and unplug the chargers. The problem isn’t the pacemaker and the pacing to your heart. The problem is the interference causes a factory reset in the programming of your pacemaker. If it detects interference it goes into a safe mode, which is not what is your operating programm.

Why not find an active volcano and air drop the batteries into the lava at the top of the cone...

“I can’t go within 6.3 meters of a charger or the batteries”

So THAT’s where the Social Distancing distance came from...

[CDC didn’t do the units conversion...]
