watch what you need for one battery: Lithium brines contain about 0.14% lithium, so it takes about 20,000 pounds of brines to yield 30 pounds of pure lithium. Cobalt with an ore grade of ~0.1% means approximately 60,000 pounds of ore will be excavated per battery[e] Nickel with a content of approximately 1.3% represents approximately 10,000 pounds of ore[f] Graphite at ~10% results in 2,000 pounds of ore[g] Copper at ~0.6% yields approximately 12,000 pounds of ore[h] These five elements add up to about 100,000 pounds of ore to make an electric vehicle battery.

​@luisbraz-ruivo more than they are reporting. Between the 2 shops I'm affiliated with, we have a few and all has become problems between insurance companies not wanting to pay, customers not having an understanding of what they actually bought believing the marketing sales gimmicks, salesmen, and their wanting to believe they made the best purchase as possible. And trying to find technicians that are certified in the required field to argue for the correct repair and correct repair procedures. The correct repair procedures are generally no corners cut, by the book. Which means expensive. So the insurance company would rather write it off than take liability for requesting a substandard repair to save money, knowing these cars has a tendency to show that they are compromised days, weeks or months after repair. That then puts the insurance company, the shop, and even the technician that worked on it in a terrible position. The ones at our shop are sitting alone by their selves with storage liens on them getting ready to go to the scrap yard. Sad thing is 3 of them don't even look that bad. Age and type of accident makes a world of difference and 3 years old is old in that world

I'm a 50 year electronics tech. When they first told everyone that EV's are "simpler and more reliable" I nearly died laughing! Electronics are the bane of cars, and EV's take it to a whole new level. Plus the computers and modules will be rendered "obsolete" in short order to FORCE you to upgrade. Simple is actually better if you BUY something instead of LEASING it. EV's are designed to be lease boxes. If you like a lifetime of renting things, this is for you! 👍

And this is problematic too...EV's are really meant to be charged overnight over the course of hours. This is the business proposition to owning/leasing one. You charge it up while you're sleeping and you won't ever have to visit a "gas station" again. But there's a problem with that...this cuts gas stations out of the loop. Sure, they could add some charging stations and charge for their use, but if people are going to be charging them at home 90% of the time, that means they'll only get 10% of all car traffic (assuming they are the only ones in town). So gas stations providing EV charging stations will never be cost-effective for them or generate a profit because everyone is charging at home. This also causes another problem, it means whoever provides your electricity has a monopoly and they can now charge you whatever they want! Yup...no more putting enough gas in your car to get you through until payday. Nope...you're going to get a bill every month, and if you owe them money they'll just shut you off, leaving you no way to get to work. I have no doubt electricity providers are eagerly lobbying our government to push EV's on a skeptical public.

Oh, and in cold climates, you really need to store/charge them indoors in a heated garage. And how about the used car market? Poor people often drive older cars because they're cheaper, but there is no options on an EV. If the battery is junk (or goes after they buy a used EV), they're out completely! Not to mention, a lot of poor people have trouble paying their electric bill as it is. Many are putting a few bucks of gas in the tank to hold them over until payday.

There is no parts department for tesla. When a body shop needs parts. They have to order it and it gets shipped. Parts will come FEDEX or UPS.

That's the problem. Junkyards will be in couple years FULL of the EVs. It will be a HELL 👹

Yeah, and a toxic Hell.

I have a friend that owns a major body shop in my area. The slightest accident with any EV requires the customer's insurance company to send out a specially trained adjuster to start 'a full investigation' that could take weeks just to get an est. His in house adjusters are NOT ALLOWED to even get near it via the insurance companies' liability clauses. Damaged Evs waiting for repairs must be stored outdoors, batteries disconnected, in a lot 300 yrds away from the shop due to fire hazards. More often than not, if there's ANY evidence that the battery protective frame is damaged in ANY way, the vehicle gets totalled. BTW, if they total the vehicles, he only gets a marginal storage lot fee payout.

People have no idea what the long range effect of switching to entirely EV's, especially when lithium batteries are involved. I work with battery powered equipment and there has been a big push to switch from lead-acid to lithium and Absorbed Glass Matting (AGM) technology. It seemed the way to go for a few years but recently the company we use to dispose of old lithium and AGM batteries announced they would no longer take them, as the lithium and other materials could not be recycled. I never knew the lithium could not be used again and makes me wonder what sort of environmental issues we're creating with disposal of these toxic materials.

Basically, gas vehicles are never going away. People are going to have an easy time fighting against this.

Don't forget charging stations throughout the country are far and few between-and are becoming crime magnets.

Also finding charging stations when your battery is almost dead causes anxiety. Then when you pull up to the charging station-3 out 5 chargers are broke. Then you have to have the app on your phone that corresponds to the charging company.

This is one of the points in this video that was just patently false and misleading. Working on EV batteries is fairly straight forward...and working on EVs is somewhat simpler than more complex mechanical engines where timing and fluids are involved in working properly. Computers are involved in both gas cars and electric cars, and those can be complex...but they are also modularized and replaceable without requiring technicians to be computer engineers to diagnose and repair. The complexity is coming from the automotive market via more advanced sensors and road awareness technology. This is a trend happening on both ICEVs and EVs and affects both similarly. This is another point this video just glosses over. Insurance companies are writing off sensor dense ICEVs just as much as EVs when damage seems more cosmetic because those sensors become a liability if not repaired and calibrated correctly. This is why we see both gas cars and electric cars declared totaled when just the front bumper is damaged, as there are sensors involved that add to the complexity of repair. The same with airbag deployments, where they need to be repaired and reset properly, with the right amount of glue where needed and the entire chemical reaction mechanism that sets them off replaced and thoroughly evaluated/inspected. Insurance companies will simply just give up on the vehicle than pay for it to go through that whole process. For more extensive damage, with EVs there actually is more incentive to total an electric car just because of the battery. EVs in this scenario don't end up in a junkyard per se, but rather an auction lot where they are sold, and the batteries are salvaged. EVs tend to have a higher salvage value as a result due to the precious metals that can be harvested and resold. Even better if the battery was never damaged in the first place. (As an EV owner, it's worth considering buying back the vehicle after it is declared totaled, just to be the recipient of the auction value once it goes out to be bid on...which in most cases is more than the buyback value)

EV’s are constructed in such a way that any internal and/or physical damage complicates any effort to recycle (currently very costly (not profitable) and almost impossible to achieve even a 50% success rate per vehicle), given the number of different materials used in manufacturing each EV. Here’s the short list: insulated wiring (plastic coated copper and aluminum), fiberglass, carbon fiber, iron/steel, rubber, alloys in tubing (brakes and heating/cooling systems)… Recycling involves time to dismantle, separate like materials, and process everything into reusable raw materials.

Energy storage technology is decades away from auto applications. The technology is barely adequate for golf carts and short-use mobility carts. Barring a major breakthrough, I'd guess in fifty years.

dont forget how long any "major breakthrough" would take to actually reach consumer level production. we are DECADES away to even begin thinking about this crap.

​@@Stephen-cr3sc you all been gaslit into blaming 'big oil'. It's the progressives & communists and it always has been. If environs actually cared they would have prevented China from becoming the world's factory. Just look up the brown cloud attested in 2004

EV tech has had a hundred years plus to evolve, but, it can't because no one really wants a $60K throw-away vehicle that can't drive for 8 hours.

What? 😮 who would have thought it was just a racket!

As someone who works in the industry, I've warning my customers about this very thing for YEARS. EV's as they are now are NOT a sustainable solution.
