Is the push for EV's really about climate change, or is there something more sinister going on?
Updated: Oct 13
A Tesla model Y battery takes up all of the space under the passenger compartment of the car.
To manufacture it you need:
--12 tons of rock for Lithium (can also be extracted from sea water)
-- 5 tons of cobalt minerals (Most cobalt is made as a byproduct of processing copper and nickel ores. It is the most difficult and expensive material to obtain for a battery.)
-- 3 tons nickel ore
-- 12 tons of copper ore
You must move 250 tons of soil to obtain:
-- 26.5 pounds of Lithium
-- 30 pounds of nickel
-- 48.5 pounds of manganese
-- 15 pounds of cobalt
To manufacture the battery also requires:
-- 441 pounds of aluminium, steel and/or plastic
-- 112 pounds of graphite
The Caterpillar 994K is used to move the earth to obtain the minerals needed for this battery. The Caterpillar consumes 1628 litres of diesel in 12 hours.
The bulk of necessary minerals for manufacturing the batteries come from China or Africa. Much of the labor in Africa is done by children. When you buy an electric car, China profits most.
The 2021 Tesla Model Y OEM battery (the cheapest Tesla battery) is currently for sale on the Internet for $3,500 not including shipping or installation. The battery weighs 1,000 pounds (you can imagine the shipping cost). The cost of Tesla batteries are:
Model 3 -- $14,000+ (Car MSRP $38,990)
Model Y -- $5,000–$5,500 (Car MSRP $47,740)
Model S -- $13,000–$20,000 (Car MSRP $74,990)
Model X -- $13,000+ (Car MSRP $79,990)
*All prices in $US
It takes 7 years for an electric car to reach net-zero CO2. The life expectancy of the battery is 10 years (average). Only in the last 3 years do you start to reduce your carbon footprint, but then the batteries must be replaced and you lose all gains made.
Lastly, the amount of energy required to process the raw materials and the amount of energy used to haul these batteries to their destination.
But by all means, get an electric car. Just stop trying to force me to under the guise that it helps our world or other humans when it clearly doesn’t.
Latest updates why EV's are no longer popular & already on a decline:
Watch about the dangers of EV's
More inconvenient facts:
Watch this recording from Kamala Harris:
They speak with such 'authority' yet their words are full of lies, misdirection, half-truths, and logical fallacies.
The Net-0 is one big deception. Why do I write & post about things like this?
Because if you dig deeper & open your eyes; it all leads to a fully controlled Orwellian society.
Which in turn leads to Revelation 13.
An over -the-top "conspiracy theory", well think again & listen to this podcast from Topher Field.
Challenging Net-0 with science:
This is what our Labor govt are doing to our bush in the name of Renewables.
What an absolute disgrace!
Before 1980 were there storms, cyclones, droughts, floods, heatwaves, tornadoes, …?
Yes. Of course
In Australia during the 1880s & 1890s heatwaves were hotter, more frequent & longer than currently
Brisbane’s 2022 floods were lower than 1974.
1974 floods were lower than in 1893.
1893 floods were lower than in 1841.
Oakey in Qld had no rain in September 2026.
Cairns in north Qld had more September rain than in any September in the last 40 years.
And, that means it had more rain in September 41 years ago.
Climate variability is natural & regional
And they try and tell you, this is Net Zero and good for the environment!
They forget to tell you about the 100–200 tons of steel rebar, 600–800 m³ of concrete buried forever, rare-earth magnets from toxic processing, and fibreglass composite blades that mostly end up in landfills
