what i want answered is how 300 million americans are going to recharge their vehicles at night when the sun isnt shining.

not solar, not wind, not nuclear.

they are going to have to burn fossil fuels to create electricity to charge the car.

is that logical ??

All EVs sold in Australia are covered by at least an eight-year battery pack warranty,
which guarantees against any construction defects as well as maintaining more than
70% over that period of time.

High-voltage battery warranties for EVs sold in Australia:

    Audi – eight years/160,000km
    BYD – seven years/160,000km

    Hyundai – eight years/160,000km
    Kia – seven years/150,000km on HV battery

    Mercedes-Benz – eight years/160,000km
    MG – seven years/unlimited (commercial limited to 160,000km)

    MINI – seven years/100,000km
    Nissan – eight years/160,000km

    Polestar – eight years/160,000km
    Tesla Model S – eight years/240,000km

    Model X – eight years/240,000km
    Model 3/Y rear wheel drive – eight years/160,000km

    Model 3 Performance/Long Range – eight years/192,000km
    Model Y Performance – eight years/192,000km
    Volvo – eight years/unlimited

Global battery production costs have dropped to approximately US$125/kWh, meaning for
example that car-makers are buying a 100kWh battery pack for $12,500 before they’ve
even dropped it into the car.

Hyundai for its Kona Electric?  $13,465.97 before fitment and labour costs.    Ouch!   

Financial analysts predict the price of battery production will fall below US$100/kWh by
2025—a benchmark figure that will make the cost to produce EVs on par with conventional
vehicles – and to less than US$80/kWh by 2030.

1.05GW from wind in SA at 6pm. Out of over 7GW not exactly plentiful.

Something to ponder ...

As seen on Facebook:



This 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 is estimated to require up to 75 semi loads of sulfuric acid a day! The acid does not turn into unicorn food like the whack job AOC believes. A battery in an electric car, lets 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 so-called "green" energy". There’s nothing green about the green new deal.

That's obscene

Is all that stuff recyclable at the end of the battery's life?
