EV’s are not sustainable.
And notoriously inextinguishable.
“EV’s are not sustainable.”
They are if our rulers make everyone but themselves ride buses.
Maybe they’re not meant to be, you may not be traveling much with dense, walkable, multi-family fake towns with cell-block style apartments (think Warsaw 1962), bus and trains with stamped booklets (or apps) that show your social(ism) credit balance.
I’m no expert on rare minerals or lithium, but there’s sure a lot of battery plants being built that have to run on something. Where’s it going to come from?
Perhaps you saw this article. A guy has a Rivian truck (which is as close to being a truck as an El Camino was) that gets rear-ended, a rather minor accident. But, the bill for repairs is $42,000.
As the article points out, many of these EV battery packs are non-repairable. A fairly minor collision can damage the cells. To check that out requires a major disassembly of the car.
