I guess its inevitable that the current crises would slow sales. |

This is why they grew 294% in one year. Yes they are a very smart company, like the TSMC of batteries. BYD is also good. China is heavily involved in research now. I often read scientific papers and have come to respect the level of intelligence. This is most likely why Britishvolt went bust. If you are going to win at this battery game you need an invention that is good enough so the buyer goes to you. Nearly every large industrial company of the past started out with an invention. |

Why don't you learn to read moron. I said repurpose, not recycle. Used car batteries no longer suitable for long journeys still hold a lot of power, the repurposing is as household batteries to go alongside you solar panels especially in homes and farms on the edge of the grid. Even more so in countries where the grid is unreliable or non existent. And my link states repurpose.......Maybe it is you whould learn to read........From my link.....'Reuse, Recycle & REPURPOSE is the ethos of Second Life EV Batteries Ltd. We are the first UK company to focus on the sale of second life lithium EV cells & modules for EV enthusiasts, domestic & commercial applications.'
Like many things today it is cost prohibitive to recycle some items and that is also why I brought the huge mountains of worn out wind turbine blades into the equation.
Your post says recycle and then you continue on about waste in landfill. Nothing whatsoever about recycling. |

The more electric cars are sold, the more people will know their limitations.

The more electric cars are sold, the more people will know their limitations. The more cars are sold the more money is made and so the more research and development of batteries. |

The more electric cars are sold, the more people will know their limitations. Yes, true. But what are the options? Keep using petrol engined cars for another generation is one . A nationwide construction of 20 minute villages is another . A nationwide increase of buses and train stations is another. Not doing much about it and keep whining that we need to use electric cars because otherwise we are all doomed is another . |

They are already viable. R & D will make the electric option even more favourable and so make it a better choice than the ICE in more user cases. It's just business logic. |

I don’t need to go into their very real problems with you..do I? There is no logic regarding technology that has yet to be discovered or developed. Only wishful thinking .. |

Few people object to (say) EVs on principle, they object because the technology is ineffective. |

They are becoming more viable each month. |

They are becoming more viable each month. Yes - legislation is being used to force it on manufacturers and the public. There wouldn't be any need to do this if the technology were effective and popular. They do this because they know perfectly well it is a pile of poo in comparison to ICE |
