Does anyone wonder where we are going to get the Lithium? After "8" years the battery goes to the toxic waste landfill because it can't be recycled. (OK, it only costs $20-30 to recycle 1 kg, meaning a lot of energy is used. Don't get me started on "reducing the carbon footprint": if it costs a lot of money to do anything, there is no reduction in carbon footprint). As an example, a windfarm operator needs $0.14 per kwh to make a profit, which is at least 3X the wholesale rate. This means that a windmill produces ZERO new power. All the Lithium mined in the world over the next 10 years would go to electrifying the ICE vehicles in Britain.
