Then there's the cobalt.  An EV typically needs 6 to 12 kg of the stuff - source:  https://www.carwow.co.uk/blog/what-is-cobalt-used-for-in-elecrtic-cars#gref



Ev companies are getting away with using cobalt. 1/2 the Teslas made no longer use cobalt.

How much cobalt is in a Tesla car?
roughly 3% Cobalt
The cheaper Model Y cars (2 wheel drive) use LFP batteries that contain no Cobalt. Half the cars that Tesla make use the LFP chemistry. The remaining batteries Tesla use contain roughly 3% Cobalt by weight. The Cobalt in batteries is infinitely recyclable.Dec 18, 2023

So @banddag do you drive an EV?

And if not why?

Merged into "Kamala Speaks." All mockery of the VP may go into that topic.

"If substantiated, the alleged arrangements would constitute some of the closest known financial links between a relative of President Joe Biden and a foreign government."

You mean other than his son and himself???

This is pretty funny.
It’s honestly difficult to differentiate between satire and reality these days.

Personally, I'd rather drive a car that was fueled with petroleum products derived from a mine with a much smaller environmental footprint than a lithium mine, and that wasn't built with the fruits of child slave labor - African child slave labor, at that.  But then, I'm not a liberal.


I was tired and read your post wrong and I was on my phone wich makes the whole screen hard to see. 

As I mentioned cobalt is used in every single electronic item in your house-the fruits of child slave labor. If you feel so guilty about child labor in Africa throw away your phone and your computer, TV, smoke detectors, microwave ovens, your ice car, motorcycle, boat. Anything painted blue or printed in blue in your house is from cobalt.

The amount of cobalt used in EV's is minuscule to the amount used in all the electronic goods and industry out there.

Tanks are obsolete in a war against a modern equipped enemy.

They’d much rather be spending more money on illegal aliens and liberal virtue-signaling.

1. Lithium is not mined in Africa. 90% of Teslas lithium comes from Australia.

2. China and Africa just signed a pact to stop using child labor in the cobalt mines.

3. You do know Cobalt is used in every single battery powered item in your house? Computers, tv's, cell phones, ice cars, smoke detectors and your wifes 12" mandingo vibrator powered by 4 d cells.

:silly:

Who - other than you - said lithium was mined in Africa?


I stand by my sobriquet from last night.  Thank you for proving how appropriate it is.
