Ok folks this battery craze is just that crazy. So let’s talk about getting the material to make the batteries. Look at the size of mining operations needed to find the metals we need now for these batteries. These pits are as big as iron ore mines If not bigger, look it up on Chile it China. Look at the mining equipment using diesel, damage to the environment like you’ve never seen before, processing the earth and then making it into a useable product for the batteries.

We will never have our transportation system fully on batteries with our present batteries. Plus charging these batteries is still 35 - 40 percent coal. I’m almost 100 percent sure it is adding to the carbon in the atmosphere. We continue to lie to ourselves about batteries unless there is a major breakthrough coming.

Enjoy your trucks we will be driving them a while and the campground s don’t need to do squat.


Peace

Thank god we don’t need to mine or drill or frak for “normal” cars. Curious. Which country do you live in that gets 35 to 40 percent of its power from coal. I know there are more than a few but most members on this forum are from North America which you are clearly not.

Just curious.
