How EV Batteries Are Made

Ғылым және технология

Those of us who can afford to acquire Electric cars enjoy the comfort of such high-tech SUVs but how many people know how EV batteries are made? Only a limited few!
As of 2018, there were 5 million new electric cars entering the auto ecosystem but over the next 20 years, analysts expect this number to hit between 300-500 million cars. How will such a staggering number of cars be powered? The answer is obvious. Electric rechargeable batteries.
In this video, we will expose the global geopolitics of EV batteries and how the promise of clean and renewable energy is hanging on the precipice of success and failure at the same time.

    Got some bad news for you cobalt is also used in the petrochemical industry to clean the fuel that goes to run your petrol/ diesel car. So think of that every time you burn a gallon of petrol / diesel you are consuming more cobalt over time than is used in a car battery. And remember once the battery is made that’s it. But of corse they forget to mention that. So be careful what you want banning. The one good thing is battery chemistry is improving all the time so the likes of cobalt and other metals will be reduced or replaced over time.

    I kind of wanted to know the process of how they are made. IOW, from the moment the cobalt is mine, then refined, then transported to the factory to be extruded (yadda, yadda, yadda) into the actual physical battery-this with all the other materials as well. Though the geo-political aspects of making these batteries is interesting, the title is misleading because there is no discussion as to the actual manufacturing process of making these batteries.

So, what can we expect the EV demand do to the supply of batteries? The scientists are demonstrating new battery technologies all the time. Maybe a new tech will help the manufacturers out of the problems stated in this video.

    Fundamentally, there is not enough Lithium in the world to make any more than single-digit demand of EVs. Lithium is found in basically 4 countries, in very dry areas. Lithium mining is extremely water-intensive, and prone to ground water pollution for centuries to come. There is no such thing as ethical cobalt. There is no such thing as green lithium. And that's before we even touch on nickel.

    There is ethical cobalt and green lithium. Ethical cobalt is made from the refinement of certain metals after extraction, when cobalt would be a waste product. And green lithium? DLE (Direct lithium extraction) is starting to be used to produce the lithium needed for batteries. And DLE can even be used on seawater. The ocean contains 230 billion tons of lithium, enough to make batteries for basically anything.

    Why can't the electric vehicle companies develop a division to get the electric car battery materials instead of using 3rd party companies and or come up with something chemically the same through Chemistry in the U.S. Like I think some vitamins are made that way or think of all the types of man made plastics we have. Also why not build more actually solar panels into the electric vehicles to help them recharge with the FREE sun. I am talking eye appealing top parts such as truck, roof and hoods. Then maybe the vehicle owner may think a little and goes a step more putting solar panels on their homes so it would not cost them anything to fuel up their electric vehicle. It still is a FREE sun out there and it is there every day maybe a little dimmer on some that is what the batteries in that system are for to hold that charge until needed by the ac / dc inverters to power your house and or car. You may not pay any electric bill any more by having solar maybe still a little But once the solar panels are paid off their yours and if you have enough that is Free energy for you now for your house and car FREE. from that FREE sun thanks sun right. Here is a thought for you chemist and auto makers. I think if you think a lot and have ideas that is some what how the world and business go around. With new or better ideas. And of course trying the new ideas. this is 2022 where would we be now with out electric or even the light bulb and lights at night.. I read once that it took Edison 100 some tries to finally get the regular light bulb to work right. It took the right kind of wire or filament to light up right, 100 tries or so. The thought for the chemist is we humans are at a temperature of around 98.6 Degrees F. So is there a chemical that can boil at that temp if so design and put it into a comfortable car seat that we humans would sit in to drive our vehicles. Make it so that this chemical would directly or indirectly be used to power our vehicle some how. Indirectly I would say it could exchange its heat from us to a water type of system in the vehicle to power it like a steam engine did on trains years ago. In some ways we humans are a power source with our own heat. Now I do not know if tapping into that heart source some how would be bad for us human or not I do not think so, I am not a doctor but just wondering. That I think could be a good idea. Just think of all the inventions that were past over by someone that thought O that is a stupid idea only to go by some one else that helped with it some how because they had enough vision or money or both to see what would become of it. Things such as at least the Car.

    The title is misleading. Wanted to know how and what is used to mine the minerals needed for lithium batteries, not how it’s used or manufactured to be used in EV. There was a brief comment on the environmental dangers to the mining of minerals needed but nothing in detail. Here’s below a description of how these minerals are extracted from the ground and why we will be in a worst danger to the environment: A large machine is required to move 500 tons of earth/ ore which will be refined into one lithium car battery. It burns 900-1000 gallons of fuel in a 12-hour shift. Lithium is refined from ore using sulfuric acid. The proposed lithium mine at Thacker Pass, Nevada is estimated to require up to 75 semi-loads of sulfuric acid a day! The acid does not turn into unicorn food as AOC believes. Refining lithium has created several EPA SUPERFUND SITES. IT IS VERY TOXIC TO THE ENVIRONMENT! A battery in an electric car, let’s say an average Tesla, is made of : 25 pounds of lithium, 60 pounds of nickel, 44 pounds of manganese, 30 pounds of cobalt, 200 pounds of copper, and 400 pounds of aluminum, steel, and plastic, etc...... averaging 750-1,000 pounds of minerals, that had to be mined and processed into a battery that merely stores electricity... Electricity which is generated by oil, gas, coal, or water ( and a tiny fraction of wind and solar )... That is the truth, about the lie, of "green" energy. There’s nothing green about the "Green New Deal". You people better learn how to vote or this nonsense will continue to flow down on top of you from the throne of government upon of which you put these people. Stop drinking the Green New Deal’s sulfuric acid Kool-Aid! “Woke -- a Synonym for Stupid” Dr. Phillip A. Fields University of South Alabama Mobile, Alabama

    Lets look at just 7% of a current EV battery - lithium. A ton requires 500 tons of ore and 500,000 gallons of water to be refined. In 2022, Lithium production was 130,000 tons - total ore 65, million tons, and 65 BIllion gallons of water. How much CO2 to move that? If half the lithium was used for cellphones etc - you could only make 6 Million Y size battery packs. Opps there are 1.4 billion light vehicles and 100 million sold annually - So is it possible to get to 500 million lithium EVs? No and even if you could the C02 used to dig it up and process and manufature is all very non Eco friendly - this was just Lithium. There is Cobalt, manganese, copper, nickel, and a dozen other materials that need mining before your 4500 lb EV gets built.

He was in bed with Bush senior who was at the time director of the CIA. There is a picture of 8 year old Obama with Bush Sr. having his arm around him back in the day. Obamas adoptive dad was one of the richest men in my understanding in the world or at least Southeast Asia. Obama gets 1/3 rd of the estate from his dead stepfather and it’s held in a trust fund in Indonesia. That way the funds are not required to be reported to the United States government. If he’s in bed with the Bushes we know that’s not good. Grandpas Bush held money for the Nazis from WWII helping them acquire steel for their war machine!!! Research people!!!!!
