The experts have also calculated that based on the latest battery technology (80 per cent nickel, 10 per cent cobalt, 10 per cent manganese), UK demand for EV batteries will require almost the total amount of neodymium produced globally each year, three quarter’s of the world’s lithium, and “at least half” of the world’s copper.
The letter, authored by a team of eight scientists headed by the Natural History Museum’s head of earth sciences, professor Richard Herrington, explains that to replace the UK’s cars with EVs will require 207,900 tonnes of cobalt, 264,600 tonnes of lithium carbonate and “at least” 7,200 tonnes of neodymium and dysprosium, as well as 2,362,500 tonnes of copper.
And that's just for the UK demand. 100% of world output of Neodymium, 75% of the world's output of Lithium and half of the world's copper output. How is that just rhetorical?

... not to mention that China has prolly bagged it all in Africa.

We're doomed (as I have said before).

I suppose that if they displace a whole load of minerals from Moon to Earth without sending the corresponding mass back to the moon, then
at least the Moon's drift away from orbit around Earth can be halted!

The rest are gloating Remainers on this forum. One of things I'm concerned about is that the UK should produce electric cars so we can avoid French cars.

My sense is that the Japs will build EVs here as they know there is a slice of the 30+ million car market. It's so important to the UK that level playing field rules with the EU should be disapplied if necessary.

Nissan are currently building electric cars here. Honda is closing down. Mitsubishi is leaving the UK market.
The intentions of Toyota towards building electric cars here and indeed in Europe are not known. All its electric vehicles are currently exported from Japan.

Hence incentives to the Japs would be a good thing.

Only Toyota amongst the Japanese manufacturers. Vauxhall needs wooing too amongst other foreign-owned manufacturers.

Electric cars are very expensive at the moment, they'll need to reduce prices if they expect people to buy them in large numbers.

Re: [Updated] New petrol & diesel car sales banned from 2030

I think all this "charging at home or in car parks" system is looking the wrong way.

Why not CHANGE your flat battery for a charged one at some local location?

I'm sure it could be done. In-and-out in minutes instead of hours. No need to have charging leads all over the place. No need to upgrade all the local power lines.

The South Korean government is changing all telephone booths into battery-exchange units for their growing number of electric bikes.
