My big concern is what resale value is going to be on EV’s ?
At $20-30,000 for battery replacement, used EV’s will pile up very quickly at auto wreckers when past due date happens. And if anything like solar or windmills, that looks to be at 60/75% of advertised life expectancy ?
Sure go buy an $80,000 EV , but what’s it worth in 5-7 years ? Nearly zero ? Who will buy a 5 year old EV for $40,000 that needs a $25,000 battery?
In the meantime they will have to mine massive amounts of earth for the raw materials in open pit mines that make the tar sands look like a garden
Most cobalt comes from one African country with a lot of child labour……. But that all gets completely ignored . As does the landfills piling up with windmill blades and outdated used battery’s .
They have a long long way to go to claim environmentally “clean†energy
Also this whole carbon scam is so grossly over exaggerated.
