The EV battery 'catch-22'
05/20/2024 In his e-book, “The EV Transition Explained,” Robert Charette, longtime systems engineer, and contributing editor for IEEE Spectrum, says making the transition is harder than anyone thinks. His argument centers on the lack of planning and systems engineering on initiatives that are politically, not engineering, driven. While change is possible, he suggested it would require trillions more in government spending and enforcing those changes through law. Profitability. Battery recycling is a still-developing process which is time consuming and expensive. The cost of purchasing recycled materials may be more costly than buying them new. Mineral shortfalls. Secure and sustainable access to critical minerals like copper, lithium, cobalt, and nickel is essential for a smooth and affordable transition to clean energy. An analysis by the International Energy Agency indicates a “significant gap” between the world’s supply and demand for copper and lithium. Projected supplies will only meet 70% of the copper and 50% of the lithium needed to achieve 2035 climate targets. Transportation of discharged batteries classified as hazardous waste is one of the costliest steps of the recycling process. Experts suggest updates to federal EPA and DOT regulations for how battery-related waste is classified. In his opinion, battery recycling issues are even further behind than transitioning the electric grid to renewable energy sources. https://www.thecentersquare.com/penn...33ad316cb.html |

Today's children and too many adults get their climate information from a little Swedish girl with developmental issues screaming at them on TikTok rather than a basic geology text book.
The great philosopher Dean Wormer once said: Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son. |

If we actually worried about what is truly important... we would be living in a wildly different country... chances are high that a 3rd party would have already popped up that fights for the middle class.

A bigger impact on the economy is private equity and C grades only chasing next quarters profit margin to appease shareholders, get rid of anyone with experience as they cost too much, strip a company of all value to cash out and let someone else deal with the carcass left.

Climate change is fake, and is created by the government using weather manipulation technology like seen in Operation Popeye and HAARP. The idea is to create artificial Scarcity and resources, and put everybody at the behest of the government and their demands. This means that we will be relying on the government for basically every type of need, including food and housing*.
Government a around the world are creating food scarcity to force people into eating bugs (because climate change!) and we don’t think electric cars (pushed by these same countries) are a part of this too? Last edited by AmuroRay; Yesterday at 08:19 PM.. |

Another Jaguar EV Barbecue.
Electric vehicle catches fire at West Virginia auto dealer In entirely unrelated news: Jaguar Ending Production of Gas Cars Entirely before New EVs Arrive Jaguar is planning a phoenix-like rebirth as the British automaker executes its plan to become an EV-only manufacturer by 2025. This will involve killing off its current lineup while also shifting towards higher-cost vehicles. . The I-Pace, first introduced in 2018, has a 90.0-kWh battery pack that provides up to 246 miles of range according to EPA ratings—hardly a standout number in today's luxury EV market, especially given the I-Pace's $73,275 starting price. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a6...uction-ending/ Time to short Jaguar Land Rover stock. |

I doubt it - if you watch/listen anything from the Murdoch/right wing shock jocks style of news, then you are seeing a conspiracy in action, but it is about making their audience scared, angry and unquestioning so they keep watching and elect the type of people that allow them to keep the money coming in.
