Salt water. Drop those batteries in a vat of salt water. Let them sit until the stored charge is depleted. Then they can be safely disposed of. I fly model airplanes that use high voltage batteries. When those batteries become inefficient. I cut off the leads and drop them in a bucket filled with water and mix in salt. A lot of salt. They become inert blocks of lithium
Rapidly depreciating values mean the cost of replacing a battery outweighs the cost of the car after just one year, leaving insurers no choice but to scrap the car, it said.
The same insurers who are obsessed with the environment and global warming I imagine?
It’s kinda like apple saying they don’t put chargers in the box cause they want to be green so instead they create a whole new package and actually create more trash
Supposedly car insurance rates are about to double next year. One of the reasons is many of these cars are too expensive to repair so they have to Total them after relatively minor accidents. Not to mention the cost of new cars has gotten to be astronomical.
ANYONE stupid enough to buy an ev deserves to be shit handled!! These are the same jackasses wearing their face diapers. Bunch of sorry excuses for being human.
Buy a petrol car and you'll get a body that will last at least thirty years. And of course plenty of cars over fifty years old exist in great condition.
An engine 20 years minimum.
OK keep that in mind.
By an ev and it's power source dies around five years to maybe ten.
I don’t have a problem with electric vehicles I have a problem with them trying to force us to buy electric vehicles. Also yes the price of replacement batteries which you will need is fucking insane. You could buy a whole new car for the cost

When its guaranteed that the battery holds at least 15 years and can be charged in less than 20 min.
