Electric vehicles

[Sirenity]

The action is stop the sale of cars. That will happen, but the dates may change.

Yes, you'll see ICE cars, but you probably won't be able to buy a new one. Or if you can, it will be a low production expensive exotic.

In fact, Johnson’s change was a downgrade, he brought the timing forward 5 years but changed it to the time to end all fossil fuel vehicles to the time when all vehicles must be able to use electricity. It will still be perfectly legal to buy a hybrid that only has a mini battery and motor but is to all intents and purposes an ICE car.

Is there going to be enough lithium if everyone goes electric?

Probably not BUT recycling is the issue.
Recycling can be done, but the economics are not real.
So most will just "close their eyes" and pass the problem and profits to China - NO THANKS !

This might be one of those future technologies that that never comes to anything, but someone has worked out how to make graphine - like nanocarbon sheets from hemp waste. This might make a more efficient, powerful battery than lithium, and it's both biodegradable and cheap.

Allegedly an American company will be marketing these starting in 2025, but who knows if it is true..
