[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 675615, member: 4485"] Solar panels, fruit & wind turbines are a bit off topic here. That aside EV batteries are recyclable. Ecobatt in Australia recover about 90% of EV battery materials. The Tesla battery screenshot above isn't a joke. More like a bad attempt to cause concern. That info, & others like it, have been widely called out as incorrect &/or misleading. Plus it doesn't show a fair like for like comparison of requirements for EV's vs. conventional vehicle, that still require a lot of mining - metals + oil. IMO there is no such thing as a zero emission vehicle & likely never truly will be. I'm not a fan of EV's for my personal use but think in built up areas they are worth considering. [/QUOTE]
