750 grams is 24.11 Troy ounces. Yeah, that’s a LOT. Silver is currently up nearly $3.50/ounce to $83.83, so this is just a bit over $2,000/vehicle.
I don’t know how that is something that makes any kind of economic sense. Given the current state of chronic shortage in the silver market, I don’t know how that is even sustainable.
Yeah, I don’t know…all I know is I had an unopened roll of US Mint Silver Eagles I had to sell to put new brakes on my car. Dammit….
If these things start rolling off in any volume, that will drive the price higher still. It also doesn’t sound like recovering most of the silver in totaled or discarded cars will be practical.
Still, if we are talking $40,000 cars, and the tech is that much better, it still might be worth it for those who choose or are mandated to purchase electric.
