Ee pichi fook gaadu oka varganiki
This was the case 10-15 years ago. Back then I would have agreed. If you still see this in any article, its just propaganda by Big Oil. If you see my posts, I have already answered that. The previous video I posted already answered that. Let me try again. Open up your mind. Its a mental block to accept something new for a lot of people. Its due to the brains self defense mechanism to protect its core beliefs. Try to continue without getting triggered or getting defensive. Batteries life isnt 8-10 years. They outlive the car. I bought an electric car and the manufacturer warranty on the battery is 15 years. Doesnt mean battery life is 15 years. It will go beyond 20 or 25 easily. Regarding Cobalt, since its expensive, its usage has been dramatically reduced(In 2024, the average EV sold globally contained 2.5 kilograms of cobalt which was 14% decline from 2023. By January-August of 2025, that figure dropped to 2.2 kilograms, a 17% decline from the previous year.). Currently many cars have LFP(Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries which have Nickel replaced with Iron Sodium Ion doesnt have nickel, cobalt not even lithium.Next gen Solid state batteries are even more cleaner. So, all this argument about extracting Cobalt and Nickel doesn't matter much in the long run. And regarding recycling, LFP can work for more than million milles. If the car becomes old, the battery as a whole can be transferred to a new body. Sodium Ion can run for 5.8 million miles. This means that the same battery can be reused into 10 different cars. Recycling is needed for sure....but its not going to be as difficult as people have earlier imagined due to battery advancements. Regarding Musk, he really cares. His life mission is to save human consciousness. And the way to save it is by making us multi planetary. So that if something happens to Earth, humans aren't extinct like the dinosaurs. Read Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson. Space launch costs dropped 10x mainly due to Elon. https://www.visualcapitalist.com/the-cost-of-space-flight/ -
