I haven't seen a concise summary of the environmental impact of lithium technology EVs compared with ICE vehicles. This means from digging the elements out of the ground, to recycling at end of life. In fairness, I don't search hard for this information, but with all of the hype around EVs, it should be easy to come by.
Next, what is the environmental impact of solid state technology EVs compared with ICE vehicles?
Down the road from me, a local recycling company holds monthly "e-recycling" events. Will I need to remove the solid state battery from my EV and take it to the e-recycling center, and pay a bloody fortune to get rid of it, when its time is up?
Will the global EV auto industry consolidate solid state battery component and assembly manufacturing in one country in Asia? It's a risk based on the past 18 months of global "events".
EVs are so not ready for prime time.
