@Jcewazhere what about the cost to mine and transfer lithium, refining it. Producing the battery. Getting it to the ev plant. Replace it every 50,000 miles.

What about the losses in transmission from generating plant to car, from plug to battery?

@djgenetic111 lithium and cobalt are difficult to recycle

@djgenetic111 loss from the plug to battery is much more that 1% That's why it needs a cooling system, much like your phone or laptop battery heats up during charging

@djgenetic111 interesting. In this country 220v is the max

@patrickbukowski9667 yes, there are many great technologies in the works.

@djgenetic111 that's true, if you dont mind charging times that are days long. 120v won't cut it. There's so much more to think about beyond strictly comparing putting electrons into a car vs gasoline ⛽
