Tesla released a report a couple of years ago that specified sources for all materials used. They don't use cobalt from DRC. On the topic of low cobalt chemistries being unstable then there hasn't been a single fire reported of the several hundred thousand Model 3s which uses low cobalt chemistry. What VW and other EV producers are doing when using high cobalt percentage and no disclosure of their cobalt source is highly unethical.

Interesting talk. As EVs get more and more mainstream all the ramifications of a changed supply chain have to be talked about. And funny enough, in germany they still discuss if the EV can be the future, which explains the serious problems for the future of the german economy, especially in the automotive sector. Well, probably apart from the VW group.

Very informative. I’d heard stuff recently (even on FC) about solid state batteries & how they’ll be a game changer by the mid 2020s. This seems to dispel that view. These guys appear to know their stuff. Sometimes the biggest nugget of info just gets dropped into the ‘mix’. Car manufacturers now accept that electric is the future 😳 it’s a matter of when, not if, electric becomes mainstream.

I think it is a good thing that we look at and try and improve sustainability and ethics in ev production. But it is worth noting the duel standard that was touched upon briefly. We never ask how the iron, aluminium, copper etc. was mined when it is in an ICE vehicle, let alone the ethical sourcing of oil that we put in the tank. As an example the problems with water for lithium production are duplicated in copper and other mining here in Chile, and even in agricultural production of things like avocados. In other words it is good to try and improve, but we shouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Even if EVs have just as many disadvantages in production they are still better over their life than any vehicle that runs on oil.

did you not watch the video ? They explain the scaling is unheard of EG the number of materials we need isin't even remotely close to what we produce, the same iron used in making an ICE vehicle was used to make buildings railroads tooling etc. and furthermore this same stuff will be used in EV's

@@ThreeDaysOfDan where do you get that from? I don't think I have ever seen a report on how dirty mining is for the production of an ICE vehicle. EVs on the other hand constantly are reported on with headlines like "Green cars dirty secrets" and articles on how Teslas are so polluting because of the lithium they use. I have no idea how you think that is not a dual standard.

Big oil is very dirty....... but so is the battery industry. Just because a tiny proportion of Cobalt is child labour produced, if 70% still comes out of the DRC, that's not great! Yes, H2 has it's disadvantages, but surely this with a small battery is the answer?! Especially if only half the UK's cars could be BEV's by 2028 with world battery production!

Many experts say that hydrogen is the real long-term future of motoring. It can be produced on-site at current petrol stations, takes no longer than filling up a standard petrol tank, and as an added bonus purifies the air as you drive along producing nothing but water vapour from the exhaust. Why hasn't it caught on like EV's? Politics and infrastructure cost. The Japanese and Korean's have already seen this future.

Because it has many downsides too. Not efficient in current form. You have to produce it through oil which we don't like. Storage is a problem too. And yes it has it future for trucks, ships etc. But there has to be a lot progress to be efficient for our cars. And it is still an electric car after all. So a plug in car is more efficient and that is something we need to achieve more and more. Being efficient in our resource usage.

I do find these sorts of questions annoying sometimes, because of the ridiculous double standards involved. What I mean is, people will set the standards for renewables and EVs to absurdly high levels - to often simply impossible idealistic levels, that nothing obeying the laws of physics could ever satisfy - and will instantly disregard the whole lot en masse... ...while these same standards are not remotely applied to the default alternative - fossil fuels and ICE cars - which fails those same standards at least a thousandfold worse. "Can this one solar panel power the entire planet single-handedly overnight? And be manufactured without actually using any materials nor energy whatsoever? It can't? Well, fuck your renewable energy up the arse, then! Now excuse me while I go literally burn tons of carbon, in my horridly inefficient Victorian-era 'steampunk' engine to go five yards to buy a ton of plastic bags that I'm literally only using to transport a few bits of shopping 30 yards to my car in the supermarket car park." The comparison is absurd. Because the new tech faces an impossible test: "Is it perfect? Well, is it? Is it absolutely 100% perfect in all regards with not a single downside or problem with it at all?". Whilst conveniently ignoring that the alternative here - in case people have forgotten - is essentially setting the Amazon rainforest on fire. That it's giving billions to arseholes like Putin or Saudi Arabia, so they can sit pretty on their human rights abuses all day long, because we're effectively subsidising all that and - insult to injury - have to smile sweetly and pretend like they're our best friends. The default alternative - what happens if we don't do something - is quite literally catastrophic. But, no, let's glide over all that and ask ourselves whether wind turbines are sufficiently vegan or not. Because a horrible unfortunate aspect of this silly failure to remember what continues to happen by default if we don't sort our shit out, is that it's us "wet liberals" - as Robert used to label it - who're often the ones leading the charge to do down what is, bluntly, our only bloody hope.
