I can store it, but they loose charge over time. This whole business of replacing oil with electricity feels like pyrotherapy applied to energy production. We need something better, because achieving zero emissions at the cost of additional environmental damage an pollution doesn't seem like progress to me (lithium mining is not something you will see showcased at the Chelsea Flower Show).



A typical EV uses 10-50kg of recyclable lithium; a typical gasoline car uses 50 tons of single-use-only gasoline.



Seems less harmful than the oilsands.


Lithium mining is on its way out thankfully
