Electric Vehicles not ready to take over transportation

Do you think they are capable of saying "no blood for Lithium?"

Lithium batteries have a bad habit of overheating when charging and exploding.

Lithium also has a bad habit of being mined by 10-year olds in 3rd-world shitholes.

Of course, all the information in the video is brand new, and none of the major auto manufacturers who have committed to electric vehicles have never considered any of those drawbacks. It's also a proven fact that battery technology has reached the absolute peak of possibility. There will never be any improvements in the technology or in recycling of the batteries. I'm sure that video will put an end to all those plans to convert to electric vehicles, as well as any research for improvement ----- right?

I don't think the Chinese or Democrats care.

I believe electric cars are the car of the future. Are they ready now? I don't think so. Our technology will keep getting better and we'll find ways eventually to make everything work right.

There are new battery technologies on the way, much longer lasting and much faster charging. The way their lithium is obtained is also different.

It isn't necessary for electrically powered vehicles to "take over" transportation. Moreover, the manner in which the situation is being approached is just a continuation of the absurdity that entered into transportation questions long ago.
If we were to deal with basics and talk about one person going from point A to point B over a reasonable distance, say up to 40 km, in a reasonable time, say one hour (which would cover most commutes), then something closer to the equivalent of an ebike would more or less suffice. Such a thing is entirely doable and would save immensely on costs, pollution, congestion, etc.
Unfortunately, the same fate befalls this as most other debates. Binary thinking immediately reduces things to radical extremes. In this case, electric vehicles either have to be exactly like the present failed automobile stereotype or they are unacceptable.

So let’s starve people to death and create economic hardship in the meantime.

I think thats exactly what enviro wackos ARE NOT capable of saying

They are so freaked out over the global warming doomsday hoax that they turn a blond eye to the physical, political, social and economic damage their favorite toy is causing

As far as battery technology goes I am an optimist

I dont flip out every time new battery material is announced because so far nothing has made its way to the market

I know batteries can and will improve

But will it happen in time to save us from the chaos that desperate demand for lithium is causing?

The cry “no blood for lithium” could be a reality

All well and good, but until those technologies are developed, we have to rely on fossil fuels to generate the electricity needed to charge those batteries.
When the gov't approaches generation of electricity logically then we can go forward.

Joe Biden’s $2 Trillion Energy Plan Ignores Cost, Land-Use Conflicts

Biden's energy plan is sensible on hydraulic fracturing and nuclear energy, but it will increase the cost of electricity and therefore hurt low- and middle-income consumers. It also ignores the raging land-use conflicts in rural America over the siting of renewable-energy projects.

Disagree all you want, it’s reality. Obama started it and the current illegit cabal resumed.
