As China's new energy vehicle production grows rapidly, with half of global production now coming from China, the huge amount of retired batteries could bring "disastrous" environmental problems  and "explosive pollution," says state-owned media Xinhua.



According to Xinhua, the cumulative retired batteries in China will had reached 200,000 tons (about 25 GWh) in 2020 and will grow to 780,000 tons (about 116 GWh) by 2025.



However, more than half of the retired batteries are not recycled via proper channels, but are "snapped up" by unqualified small factories that don't invest much in environmental protection, the report says.



Generally speaking, the service life of new energy vehicle batteries is about 5-8 years. If the retired batteries are not properly disposed of, they will bring disastrous pollution to the environment, despite the fact that these new energy vehicles were designed to be "clean" and environmentally friendly.



Professor Wu Feng at Beijing Institute of Technology told Chinese media, "A 20-gram cell phone battery can pollute three standard swimming pools of water, and if abandoned on the land, it can pollute 1 square kilometer of land for about 50 years."



Compared to cell phone batteries, the pollution caused by the batteries of large new energy vehicles is more serious.

Electric car batteries are already creating a toxic mess in China, not to mention the mining for rare earth metals.

https://blazingcatfur.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Electric-Bus-Proterra-Philadelphia.jpg">



More than two dozen electric Proterra buses first unveiled by the city of Philadelphia in 2016 are already out of operation, according to a WHYY investigation.



The entire fleet of Proterra buses was removed from the roads by SEPTA, the city's transit authority, in February 2020 due to both structural and logistical problems—the weight of the powerful battery was cracking the vehicles' chassis, and the battery life was insufficient for the city's bus routes. The city raised the issues with Proterra, which failed to adequately address the city's concerns.



Philadelphia placed the Proterra buses in areas where it thought they could succeed but quickly learned it was mistaken. Two pilot routes selected in South Philadelphia that were relatively short and flat compared with others in the city were too much for the electric buses.



"Even those routes needed buses to pull around 100 miles each day, while the Proterras were averaging just 30 to 50 miles per charge," WHYY reporter Ryan Briggs wrote. "Officials also quickly realized there wasn't room at the ends of either route for charging stations."



Similar problems have been found in other cities that partnered with Proterra. Duluth, Minn., which, like Philadelphia, waited three years for its Proterra buses to be delivered, ultimately pulled its seven buses from service "because their braking systems were struggling on Duluth's hills, and a software problem was causing them to roll back when accelerating uphill from a standstill," according to the Duluth Monitor.

No problem, just raise property taxes.

We are being too hasty in our push for an electric fleet.

That''s probably true Thiel.....but I'm still interested in hybrids.

The concept is good in that they generate some electrical power (as against just suck our undersized grids dry)

I like that part.



The down side is more components, 2 complete and separate power systems to maintain in effect

I have heard catalytic converters are a problem with hybrids.
