This is nuts. I hope everyone understands this is all planed. This is the new green deal in action. FJB...
You mean the one's that are limited on range and load, Have to be charged at night when we are relying on Fossil fuels, and the batteries currently have no way to be disposed of so we have to pay 3rd world countries to store them in old WW2 bunkers???"if you would all buy an $80k electric vehicle you wouldn't complain so much about the cost of fuel" - Brandon
yep, those are the ones.You mean the one's that are limited on range and load, Have to be charged at night when we are relying on Fossil fuels, and the batteries currently have no way to be disposed of so we have to pay 3rd world countries to store them in old WW2 bunkers???
Sounds like an Excellent way to line some ones pocket. Sign me up!!!
From my understanding the batteries can be recycled...You mean the one's that are limited on range and load, Have to be charged at night when we are relying on Fossil fuels, and the batteries currently have no way to be disposed of so we have to pay 3rd world countries to store them in old WW2 bunkers???

Ironically a guy at work wanted to get rid of his 21 MPG car for a something that gets 44 MPG... He thought the fuel savings would pay for itself. When I Showed him the math of the 2 vehicles making the same drive every week for 1 year. The savings was not even enough to make 1 month payment on said new vehicle. He was so defeated...yep, those are the ones.
in my jetta TDI, I can drive 700 miles a tank only stopping a few minutes for the bladder. in an electric car I'd probably have to stop at least three times for an hour each adding three hours more to the trip. since I don't have any way to charge at work, all of the charging would be done at home, like you said at night when solar doesn't work, adding to the electric bill. add that cost to the cost of the car and it sure would buy a lot of fuel. even at todays prices I'd be able to drive 500k+ miles before I broke even
Look Deeper into the lithium batteriesFrom my understanding the batteries can be recycled...
Dozer, you sound like a spam bot advertisement pop-up![]()
I don't really care enough to dive into it too much unless you get some credible information for me. A quick Google search says that 95% of batteries are recycled nowadays. Tesla reports they recycle a 100% of their batteries. I don't have a dog in this fight. I just don't like BS talking points from either side.Look Deeper into the lithium batteries
Sorry I should have explained better. Currently it's too costly to recycle them here. It's cheaper to mine new minerals else where. For now, alot of it is being shipped over sea's. some of its being stored in ww2 era bunkers that we paid to convert and store these types of batteries due to there danger. They require foam suppression, air conditioning to regulate the temp, and they have to pull the moisture out of the air to keep them from corroding.From my understanding the batteries can be recycled...
DamnI use an app to find/save on fuel. There is more savings on gas then diesel, but everything counts.
