Also, we NEED lithium and other rare elements for phone batteries and other high tech uses. It’s insane putting 26 pounds of rare earth elements into a battery that lasts about 8 years.

How Much Does a Lithium-Ion Car Battery Weigh?

As stated before, lithium-ion batteries weigh approximately 26 pounds each. Some lithium-ion batteries that have more amp hours weigh more, but the average weight of lithium-ion batteries is 26 pounds.

In the 15th century the masses believed in witchcraft as a cause of many evils and went to great lenghts to eradicate it. The hysterical masses now believe in “climate change” with the same fervor (and same lack of truth) as witch finder believed in witchcraft and witches. Climate change is an imaginary bugbear being used to force more control over the masses. EVs will never replace the function of fossil fuel powered vehicles and should be relegated to forklifts.

The notion of just trashing that entire system and replacing it overnight with a green wet dream is absolutely ludicrous.

I worked in the power generation industry for 16 years and what you say is 100% accurate. I remember reading the IEEE reports on trying to get economical solar - never could get it to work at anywhere near cost effective.

Lithium is the LIGHTEST of all metals.

I can’t see any energy density improvements with heavier metals, and no weight savings at all...............
