as with the comparison with cellphone & laptops batteries, but for the battery packs for an electric car will now weigh 800 pounds of Lithium vs 7 ounces for a laptop.
Can u say Big Bada Boom!!??
I have heard about the lithium problem with laptops and cellphones, especially on airplanes. Have there been similar fire problems for autos, compared with gasoline fire problems? Of course unlike aluminum and glass, lithium would need some type of special collection and recycling. The trash center at Chincoteague, VA has sections for trash, recyclables (paper, plastic containers, aluminum), motor oil, metals, and misc. junk like TVs. When I came with a bag of noxious weeds covered with seeds, I was told to take it to the landfill 7 miles away for burning.
