Recycling for Battery EVs is going to be a much more thriving industry as the designers are taking care of these things. Also i believe mining the batteries for the constituents will always be valuable.
If the Tesla 1 million mile battery is as real as the CATL 1 million mile claimed battery, an electric car is actually going to last at least 3x that of an ICE car assuming all other components (motors, body, powertrain) is also improved.
Brakes already last longer whereas because total no of components in EV is much lower (literally like 10x less moving parts) maintenance is also much, much easier.
You need to educate yourself on how rapidly EV manufacturing, recycling and other aspects are evolving.
- qes 6y ago> an electric car is actually going to last at least 3x that of an ICE car assuming all other components (motors, body, powertrain) is also improved That's an absurd assumption. Why would you assume an electric car will improve the lifespan of the body by 3x? Why would non-EV's not also improve the lifespan of the body by 3x? > Brakes already last longer whereas because total no of components in EV is much lower (literally like 10x less moving parts) How are the number of components in an EV related to how long the brakes last? There's no connection. In fact, brakes in an EV have _more_ moving parts than most non-EV's because they are regenerative whereas most non-EV's are not. > You need to educate yourself Pot, meet kettle. Here's a hint: reading popsci on the crapper is not educating yourself.
