Not sure which vehicle you are talking about. My model X has a 540 kg battery and it\'s one of the largest EVs on the road. EV batteries are recycled, first by using them as batteries in stationary applications, then by using the materialnside

Er, no, sorry. That\'s the line spouted by the manufacturers but it\'s
not the actual reality. The fact of the matter is that there is an
incipient environmental catastrophe unfolding right now. And it will
become increasingly difficult for people like yourself to ignore now
that the first generation of these EVs are reaching end of life.\'

There\'s not a single renewable power source out there for which recycling/ disposal/ demonstration research is not being conducted. Solar panels will probably add up to more than EV battery packs. Criterion for successful recycling is that the final cost of precious metals extracted shall not be in excess of the newly mined and processed resource. That makes sense to me. And they\'re hitting the target every time.

Life would be easier for you if you investigate the actual facts of whatever it is causing you so much anxiety.

Whitewashing and cover-ups can only work for so long. In the fullness
of time, you\'ll see the truth emerge......

These infernal things are an absolute menace. It\'s so easy as a
pedestrian to get hit by one passing by because you can\'t hear it
coming.

If you can\'t hear an EV coming, it\'s because you are deaf. It was a couple of years ago, they required EVs to make noise equivalent to an ICE when driving at parking lot speeds. On the road, tires make as much noise as a car engine.

I don\'t give a damn how much noise they don\'t make on the highway. The fact is in Yurp they\'re as silent as the grave - which is where any unfortunate pedestrian who enounters one will end up if he\'s hit by one.

They\'d have to be as stone deaf as you seem to be.

I note that aspect is missing from the article yet it\'s probably one of the most important safety issues regarding EVs

Which is not supported by any facts.

Perhaps not in your neck of the woods, but hereabouts it\'s certainly the case.

Cursitor Doom doesn\'t invent his own facts - he relies on other right-wing half-wits to do it for him, they tells you how utter;y relialbe his favourite brand o nonsense is..

(apart from the fact that they spontaneously combust whilst locking all the
doors so no one can get out.)

Again, not supported by the facts.

Bloody well is! I have posted several links to Teslas bursting into flames and cooking their passengers whose egress from the conflagration (and it *is* a conflagration, believe me) was prevented by the doors automatically locking them inside. You know damn well this lead to the somewhat tasteless joke about a \"free cremation for every new owner\" going the rounds a while ago.

Your capacity for finding right wing nonsense is unparalleled, and the fact that you haven\'t posted the links again is pretty clear evidence that they got a sceptical reception the first time you tried.

And we haven\'t even begun to get to grips with the environmental cost of dealing with end-of-life batteries for these things, which can easily weigh 1400kg a piece!

Not sure which vehicle you are talking about. My model X has a 540 kg battery and it\'s one of the largest EVs on the road. EV batteries are recycled, first by using them as batteries in stationary applications, then by using the material inside

Er, no, sorry. That\'s the line spouted by the manufacturers but it\'s not the actual reality.

Not the \"reality\" that Cursitor Doom has decided to invent.

> The fact of the matter is that there is an incipient environmental catastrophe unfolding right now.

But one that is likely to stay incipient forever, like the rest of Cursitor Doom\'s bogus prophecies.

> And it will become increasingly difficult for people like yourself to ignore now that the first generation of these EVs are reaching end of life.

Since there\'s absolutely no sign of any \"incipient environmental catastrophe\" this is just another of of Cursitor Doom\'s bogus prophecies.

> >> Seriously, these things are a menace and need to be taken off the roads and production of any more shut down world-wide.

Seriously, malicious clowns like Cursitor Doom should be taken off the Internet, or a least subject to crushing charges for posting dangerous misinformation and pretending that it has any factual basis,

> >It\'s fortunate that you stand alone in this idea, other than a few other kooks.

Cursitor Doom does enjoy his little delusions. In his mind he isn\'t a demented right-winger spouting absurd nonsense because he enjoys the frisson of being totally fatuous.

> You and that conspicuous idiot Bill Sloman are the only kooks ignoring the reality of the situation here.

5% of the population needs psychiatric help and Cursitor Doom is part of that small but noisy faction. One of his more fatuous delusiuon is that he and the rest of the Daily Mail reading minority are actually part of a silent majority who share their flagrantly silly ideas.

> You mark my words: the disposal of EV batteries will be the next BIG ISSUE going forward. MARK MY WORDS....

We mark your words as seriously deluded. You posts probably ought to automatically marked with a public intellectual health warning.

It wouldn\'t. He proudly explained how he\'d done exactly that - or what he though t was exactly that - to investigate the reality of anthropogenic global warming.

What he did was put together a third of a ton of obsolete documents, mostly from the 1890\'s, presenting erratic results that he could cherry pick to support his lunatic idea that atmospheric CO2 levels aren\'t actually rising, and he\'s ignored all the modern data on the grounds that it has been produced by a grand conspiracy of all the climate scientists around the world to delude the public.

Of course black-washing and invention - which is what Cursitor Doom is doing - is ineffective even in the short term because it is obviously nonsense.

They do not weigh 1400kg.

The battery in a Tesla Model 3 long range weighs less than 500kg which is typical for the larger ones.

The supplemental fuel tank on my neighbor\'s pickup truck weighs more
than that (when filled with 160G of diesel).

Actually the real safety problem with EVs s that they tend to make right-wing lunatics run around like headless chickens, broadcasting their groundless anxieties at the tops of their voices.

Right-winger don\'t like any change at in society at all, unless it is presented to them as the restoration of some mythical golden age. Real golden ages don\'t hack it - people can find out what was wrong with them.

These infernal things are an absolute menace. It\'s so easy as a
pedestrian to get hit by one passing by because you can\'t hear it
coming.

If you can\'t hear an EV coming, it\'s because you are deaf. It was a couple of years ago, they required EVs to make noise equivalent to an ICE when driving at parking lot speeds. On the road, tires make as much noise as a car engine.
I don\'t give a damn how much noise they don\'t make on the highway. The
fact is in Yurp they\'re as silent as the grave - which is where any
unfortunate pedestrian who enounters one will end up if he\'s hit by
one.

I just explained to you how new EVs all have to make noise at parking lot speeds. Then there is the fact that you are blind, since you should be looking where you are going. It\'s not all up to the driver of the car to avoid the pedestrians who walk in front of him.

I note that aspect is missing from the article yet it\'s
probably one of the most important safety issues regarding EVs

Which is not supported by any facts.
Perhaps not in your neck of the woods, but hereabouts it\'s certainly
the case.


(apart
from the fact that they spontaneously combust whilst locking all the
doors so no one can get out.)

Again, not supported by the facts.
Bloody well is! I have posted several links to Teslas bursting into
flames and cooking their passengers whose egress from the
conflagration (and it *is* a conflagration, believe me) was prevented
by the doors automatically locking them inside.

The doors don\'t \"lock\". My doors have a mechanical handle. I can open them at any time. Please stop lying about this.

You know damn well
this lead to the somewhat tasteless joke about a \"free cremation for
every new owner\" going the rounds a while ago.
And we haven\'t even begun to get to
grips with the environmental cost of dealing with end-of-life
batteries for these things, which can easily weigh 1400kg a piece!

Not sure which vehicle you are talking about. My model X has a 540 kg battery and it\'s one of the largest EVs on the road. EV batteries are recycled, first by using them as batteries in stationary applications, then by using the materialnside

Er, no, sorry. That\'s the line spouted by the manufacturers but it\'s
not the actual reality. The fact of the matter is that there is an
incipient environmental catastrophe unfolding right now.

Yes!!! We are very much aware of climate change caused by the massive emissions of CO2, largely by autos.

And it will
become increasingly difficult for people like yourself to ignore now
that the first generation of these EVs are reaching end of life.

The \"first generation\" of EVs sold in the 10\'s of thousands per year. The Nissan leaf sold 100,000 a year at some point. The Tesla model 3 is the first car to sell in significant volumes and started shipping in 2018. So you are a long way off, as is any \"crisis\" in recycling the batteries. You need to keep in mind that these batteries aren\'t tossed when they reach 70% capacity. They are simply removed from automotive use and put into stationary applications.

Seriously, these things are a menace and need to be taken off the
roads and production of any more shut down world-wide.

It\'s fortunate that you stand alone in this idea, other than a few other kooks.
You and that conspicuous idiot Bill Sloman are the only kooks ignoring
the reality of the situation here. You mark my words: the disposal of
EV batteries will be the next BIG ISSUE going forward. MARK MY
WORDS....

You are pretty funny. When will this catastrophe happen?

How many tires does your car go through? What is the volume and weight of those tires? What the hell do they do with all of them? God forbid they catch on fire. They never get put out. Even if not on fire, they hold water and create mosquito breeding grounds. But you don\'t seem to think they are a problem.

No, of course not. You just get a hard on anytime you can complain about an EV.

Probably 1400 pounds for most EVs.

Not \"most\" EVs. Only the longest range EVs. There may be larger batteries in some of the monster pickups. But pickups are always monster these days, weight tons (literally) in all models.

I think your Leaf is no longer considered an EV. You probably would get better range by using AA batteries. These days, it\'s more of a paperweight.
