When comparing hydro carbon emissions with catalytic converter - the only output is CO2 and water. No one dies from that; but EV cars that catch fire put out all sorts of very toxic gases. Even more commonly you'll find EV cars are usually powered by the grid; the powerplats often use coal; which is impure; create many toxic gases on combustion; unless the power generation plant has the equivelent to catalytic converters (scrubbers) these toxins go into the air. Add to that EVs weight more taking more energy to move and they take much more mining to make.

Just like the E waste of solar power panels, wind farms and solar farms. There is a growing problems that they are essentially non recyclable as they are too complex and expensive to deconstruct. Their end of life pollution is not covered by the media. Unlike Lead Acid batteries which are so simple they are recycled. They can even be refurbished by a road side workshop (not in the West but frequent in India, Asia etc). Comparing fuel cells a ICE fuel tank when the fuel is used, the tank is so simple (tin can) it is at a ready state for recycling.

There was a recent study into EV and guard rail standards. They found many of the heavier EVs plow through guard rails even though they are supposed to at least slow down a truck. It's not just that they are heavier, they also have a much lower center of gravity helping them to go straight through.

Questions: How many people are going to die from the toxic fumes of Li-Ion battery fires??????? And Isnt that also pollution? And what about all of the pollution at the sites of the power generating stations where the "Recharging Electricity" is made?

In the US, the EPA fines on ICE manufacturers forced them to produce EV's. The cost of EV production was/is passed on to the consumer of ICE cars which is why many of them are at least 20% more expensive now than they were 4 yrs ago. I look forward to EV companies like Tesla to go bankrupt when the taxpayer funded incentives, taxpayer funded, subsidies and taxpayer funded carbon credits are GONE.

Yes EV’s are heavier but it’s not too difficult to find popular cars that are in the same segment weight ballpark.Far and away the bigger gain of weight on the roads is the obsession with large 4wd’s.

Speaking of road damage from heavier EVs...the cities in NZ that have gone to Electric Buses are finding that the road damage from them, particularly but not exclusively at bus stops, is bringing them a whole load of grief and unexpected costs. They even have had to reroute some busses while they figure out next steps.

LIZ STORER...SPOT ON, LET THE PEOPLE LEARN THE TRUTH.....

Good technology doesn't need to be forced on people

And we're do these millions of toxic lithium batteries go when they are spent the waist from the batteries is a massive problem !!!!!

There was a Tesla car ad on attached to the end of the video 😂.

Like sky ever complain about the 2.4 billion dollars spent on coal related deases.

Did Ms Ryan look into EMF from EVs??

Meanwhile in NSW they are charging ahead with making electric buses, they have electric buses in Nelson New Zealand and they have been banned from some roads as they had been destroying roads from the weight

The battery is about the size of a coffin. Replacement cost about $14,000 after about 10 years.

Store them at Chris Bowens home

Landfill anyone? That landfill will be right next to those 'wind' vanes.

Battery technology is improving quickly.

The ANSWER is to switch to HYDROGEN CARS not the electric crap.

I could watch and listen to Liz for hours lol

The pollution from the tyres and brakes eventually gets washed into the ocean creating more problems, and how are they going to recycle the dead solar panels and wind turbines.

I suppose they could be shipped to Canada to be burnt for heat. .. ....

Australia already has lithium recycling companies.

If neighbor forces you to cause self-harm at gunpoint, there will be prison time. When government forces you in similar manner trough legislation, they will pardon themselves. Nobody will be held responsible for financial loss they caused to population. Not even for health damage.

Why aren’t the politicians driving around in EVs if they are that good ?

There is a company in the USA that will totally transform your old battery into recyclabled components for reuse in batteries or other.

Redwood material us, Envirostream Australia... and many others

Interesting discussion; I did a series of tests here in the UK last year pitting 12 different EVs against my own 2006 Lexus GS300 SE-L. Each test run commenced at midnight and went from York Minster to Truro Cathedral in Cornwall. A distance of exactly 426·7 miles. Each EV was tested with just a driver and again with 4 adults plus a total of 60kg of luggage. (15kg each). The same tests were undertaken in my Lexus. I drove every test in order to establish driving continuity. In every case all the EVs were slower and more expensive to run. EVs are a great inner city solution, a compact, home-charged, (very cheap), dry-cell powered, 150km range would make them ideal. On the open road EVs are simply not fit for purpose in any way!

What about the "Granny carts" on our pavements? Then there are the "E" scooters as well. I'm staying indoors.

They can recycle battery up to 95% in US and Canada already. Battery last much longer than your phone's battery due to different chemistry and thermal management. If that's deadly, they should ban your phone first. And battery can be repurposed for off grid power storage, so this is totally bogus.

Sky News Australia seems deliberately uninformed, we wonder why? As we recycle plastics from eg milk bottles etc, we have for years shipped them to other countries. That seemed to be not an issue. EV batteries have been recycled in the USA for years and why can’t the same be done and why not build a battery recycling plant in Straya? We have loads of phones and devices using lithium batteries m where do the dead batteries go in Straya?

Bring back the horse and cart. Feed it some hay and it's away.

Ugh .. I have been screaming about this for years! It is such a duh fact!

As a partially sighted person, after being knocked over by an electric vehicle, i COULD NOT HEAR 😮

Petrol blows up too, and a lot more often than EVs.

As a 66yo with a new-found interest in politics, ...please excuse my ignorance. Can a Member of Parliament "jump ship" or change parties because they consider their current party "inept"? Has this happened previously???

Isn't Government Foresight an oxymoron?

So is this presenter slandering a teal MP or is he trying to convince us petrol cars arent as combustable as EV's.

yep, petrol cars catch fire 10 times more often than EVs, but they wont mention that.

I think all governments world wide, want less cars on the road and more people riding push bikes. Thats why they are making all cars more exspensive.They are also trying to push 15 minute cities. Im just glad that people aren't letting them get away with it.

Send all the spent batteries to redwood materials they want them back and as much as possible
