In his State of the Union Address on Tuesday, President Joe Biden promoted electric vehicles (EVs), trumpeting his plans to establish “a national network of 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations.” In so doing, Biden is unwittingly supporting the worst humanitarian abuses in the world. This is because of the way in which the materials used in manufacturing the batteries that power today’s EVs are obtained.
To obtain a reasonable amount of power per pound of battery weight, EV manufacturers generally use various forms of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, so named because the battery’s positive electrode, called the cathode, is largely made up of the highly reactive metal lithium (Li). To keep the cathode stable when a battery is not in use, the lithium is combined in a metal oxide matrix, with different manufacturers using different combinations of metals.

Yup...to quote an unknown freeper “the elites want us to live like the Flinstones, while they live like the Jetsons.”
It is time to move far away from society and watch it collapse.
5.7 rocks. Of course a 6.2 would be nice. Or a 426ci elephant would be pretty awesome. Maybe one built by Keith Black................
Michigan just approved to give GM 66M for EV car plant and battery plant.
I keep thinking of all the mechanics that will lose jobs, diesal, truck, etc when EV’s hit the road. Then you have auto supply companies for transmission parts and other gas fueled car parts that will no longer be high demand service.
It’s going to be a LONG transition, much longer than the “experts” are forecasting.
I’d be very confident telling a young person to get into the job of auto technician today.
Here’s one 1,200hp engine going into a Grand Cherokee, from Hennessey Tuning, in TX. Unbelieveable.

Ararararar!
The Goal is remove America through shutting down all transportation. He’s shutting down oil and creating an electric (coal) drain we can’t support.
A national network of 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations.
Screw the brides and roads we need more charging stations.
Moe he’s worse than we are huh
I have a house in philly on street parking. MIght need a 1000 ft extension cord.
“Lots of Florida man articles from that”
Yeah I can see the headline now
“Florida EV owner empties weapon on other unsuspecting EV owners saving one round......then turned the gun on himself....”
Presently 1-3% of the cars in USA are EV’s. We will run out of lithium before we get to zero.
EVs are the solution to a non-existent problem.
I think the ChiComs have the right approach.
Put the civilians in electric cars powered by coal fired power plants.
Save the good stuff for the military.
