30 years later, after decades of working on this we have determined that when adding the cost of the battery, the costs of charging the battery, the cost of recycling the battery, the energy required to recycle the battery, the energy to make another battery, we have determined that burning gasoline is more efficient so we will be mandating all internal combustion engines going forward.

Tesla has the right idea for this. Forget trying to disassemble the packs, just submerge them in liquid nitrogen to deactivate the cell chemistry, then shred the whole pack and process out the metals and plastic. There is no need to worry about discharging the batteries if they are cold enough, they will stop developing a charge at cryogenic temperatures. At that point, the packs are inert, so just shred everything. Way simpler than trying to program robots to unscrew hundreds of bolts.

They do not. Not all cells are bad, so reuse is way better when they figure out which cells are still good.

"We're going to develop and license the technology" Oh yeah? They're not doing a single novel thing in their process, or the process they intend to "license". Discharge, Shred, Classify, Dissolve, Reduce, Repeat

Cobalt can cause poisoning, and lithium isnt harmless either. It is used in psychological meds

CO2 increase lacks 500 years behind temperature increase, because it's a result of it, not the cause. The temperature increase, is part of a natural up/down cycle.

but only if you dump the battery and buy a new one. I'd rather get the battery pack refurbished for a fraction of the cost of replacing it.... We have independent EV specialists already carrying out this work in the UK.

Kia ora Emma :-) so the question is.... and something for you to investigate... :-) if the cost of the many electric batteries fitted into one car alone and they also cost more to replace than the car itself... we are going to end up with a heck of a lot of eco cars sitting in the wreckers yard and crushed... people will just go and buy another battery driven car... or not.... as the way I see it... they have to bring down the cost of those batteries real soon if you want the world to go this way.... and that you get a heck of a lot more mileage before re-charging again... and a hell of a lot more charging stations around each country... Now as I am a biker (motorbikes), I will stick to petrol thanks, as electric motorbikes can only go a very short distance and then one has to sit an wait to recharge... not great for the motorbikers that like to ride long distances in a day... and there are no charging stations every 100kms...! Now just imagine a whole group of Motorbikers all rolling up at the same time to get their electric motorbikes recharged and their is only one charging station..!!!

The push for electric has nothing to do with a cleaner environment. The process of mining, charging, recycling. With a coal power plant changed nothing. And we know what happens when nuclear power plant goes down. Still can't recycle that toxic $hit. The end result is much like a cell phone you can be tracked and with the push of a button shut you down. No more yellow vests of farmers standing up for there right to be free

I personally wouldn't replace mine. I'd have the pack refurbished for a fraction of the cost of replacing the whole pack. If everyone rolled up at a gas station at once, then gas would run out too. But it just doesn't happen.

Watch the KZitem video posted by Volkswagen of their EV battery recycling plant in Zwickau, Eastern Germany. It shows the batteries being discharged prior to being recycled. Any residual charge from the batteries is fed back into the factory grid to help to power the recycling process.... Unlike the process shown in this video, VW's methods recover 90% of the lithium and cobalt to be re-used in new batteries.

It's called propaganda for the EV brands. I don't see any solution to this BS but noooo, the gub'mt is still going to implement a ban on gas powered vehicles anyway. Good luck dumbarses, it won't work.
