You mean the figure of 100k miles to break even on emissions used to build an EV? As I said, it's the figure I keep seeing when I research it. Not the result of any math I've done. The point on that is people are led to believe their EV is net zero when it hits the showroom floor, and that simply not true.

I have a Tesla model 3 and my house has a full house solar system with Lithium batteries. The solar system cost me 14,000 dollars and pays for itself in 5.5 years. The Tesla model 3 has of course Lithium batteries. My house energy savings per year with the solar is over 3,000 dollars a year. My EV produces annual savings of over 3,000 dollars a year over my previous gas cars. That's 6,000 dollars a year savings and over 10 years about 60,000 dollars I've saved. All with lithium at the base. My objectives have nothing to do with the climate change or CO2 discussions. Looking after me and my family is priority.
@jimrageLT1
@jimrageLT1 3 дня назад
Have you had the system for at least five years yet? Are those savings actual numbers you've experienced or the figures in the documentation? I've heard of people not getting the savings that's claimed and some ending up with hardly any savings for whatever reason. Hopefully, you're an exception. If you have a chance, I'd suggest swapping for sodium ion batteries if they're ever available for your system: faster charging, more lifetime charge/discharge cycles, and safer than lithium ion.

@@jimrageLT1 Hi, I've had my system for just on 3 years. My numbers taken directly from the App which is called Solarman Smart. It's pretty comprehensive with the daily, monthly, and yearly numbers. A nice graphic that shows the direction of energy from panels, grid, batteries, and house. Always showing production and consumption. The graphs daily show an average of about 45+ kw consumed on average daily basis. It's also a bit fun as it shows how many tons of CO2 I've saved or equivalent trees I've planted and and tons of coal saved. Cute. Production pretty much matches that consumption unless it's an ugly day. The inverters are (2) actually. 5kw each with 6kw of solar going in which is within the spec. If selling back to the grid (I don't) the utility providor limits the size of a system on single phase to 5 kw. Hence I have 2 5kw systems with the inverters in a master/slave configuration. The 22 545 watt panels are on a fairly flat carport type roof. Not ideally angled but it works. The height is not so high so they are easily cleaned with a ladder. The inverters are programmed in 6 hour blocks. This allows for the movement of energy in a priority type focus. The 20 kwh of batteries are 10 each with each inverter. I could add more in chain if needed. Generally the batteries are fully charged by just around noon or a little later. We run appliances such as washers and dryers in the afternoon or throw some juice in the EVs. My pool pump runs during the day not at night which would be normal. My house has 2 meters. One standard meter with my house distribution panel. A 2nd meter expressly for charging EVs only is offered by my grid providor and is a Time Of Use meter or TOU. It runs from the power pole directly to my carport and the wall charger and does nothing else. So we swap between EV wall boxes depending which car or how much "excess" sun. The batteries have a lower cut off of 20%. Then the grid kicks in. If this occurs it's seamless and usually in the wee hours of the morning. They are LFP and I didn't investigate any other possible chemistries. After 3 years I don't observe any degradation,,,,, yet. I had an inverter fail and it was fixed under warranty but it took an entire month. (not happy about that) The system was then shut off and a switch box puts me on the grid solely and bypasses the solar system. The panels are Longi, inverters Deye, and the wall format batteries LV Topsun. Overall I'm quite pleased. My buddy has a similar system on 3 phase from the same company. But he massively over sized his system so his return is not very good. The grid providor offers energy buy back but if a system is limited to 5kw there won't be any excess to sell back and the price they pay is silly low. It appears they are playing the game of solar cooperation but don't really want to make it viable for them buying excess power. All my cabling is run underground and 🤞 it is reliable. We've had to reset the system a few times in heavy thunder and lightning storms and I think it's likely the copper ground rod needs to be a bit deeper. But actually that only happened a few times. I think that's about all the details I know. It works nicely for me. Thailand has low cost labor so that expense is not a consideration. Goods from China are low cost as so much is traded between Thailand and China. (same for Chinese EVs) as they are plentiful and low cost due to a tax treaty between the 2 countries.

After doing the math myself, the CO2 related impact on the climate doesn't look bad, more like a drop in the ocean! I heard that we annually release about 37.5 billion tons of CO2 worldwide [2023], so if mining 1 ton of lithium gives us 15 tons of CO2 (so 37B/15 = 2.5B) and we mined 180,000 tons of Lithium in 2023, then it gives us.... 2,500,000,000/180,000 = 13889 years of lithium production. Which is about 38 years of producing lithium to equate *just a SINGLE DAY* of our worldwide CO2 production (or in other words annual production of lithium equates to only ~38 minutes of our annual CO2 production!!), which in my opinion looks decent! 🙂
@jimrageLT1
@jimrageLT1 4 дня назад
Yeah, the numbers suggest a comparative drop in the bucket. If we scale that up to the 2035 estimate of our lithium production needs of about 4,500,000 tons that 13889 years suddenly becomes 548...still good (comparatively speaking) but we won't make that number. We're projected to come up short by 24% or 1.1 million tons in production by then. All of this, of course, assumes the 1:15 ton ratio remains constant...which I doubt it will. I expect it'll get worse. The point I was trying to make was that lithium is too costly (and I don't just mean money) and too dangerous for 1000lb batteries. If we limited it to small applications then we get so much more out of that same lithium per ton. Example: From what I've read, a Tesla Model S battery contains 62.9 Kilograms of lithium which translates to about 14 batteries, if my math is right (900Kg=.99 Tons, 900/62.9=14.3). Assuming the figure of 1 gram of lithium per cell phone battery is correct, we would get 900,000 batteries for that same ton of lithium. In the world of the Net Zero fantasy, any emissions are too many emissions. The best we can do, on that front, is maximize the bang for the buck, as they say.

When it was announced it was a co-venture with Toyota Australia who had to functioning examples in a pair of Corollas. The technology touted ammonia as an abundant production by-product that was the best form of transporting hydrogen that could exist (better even than pure hydrogen due to the molecular structure of ammonia). The ammoniia was supposedly split on the fly by this metal membrane forming pure hydrogen. The only reason I give this any credence is that it came from CSIRO, which from its historical scientific prowess is not one to say they have created something without substantial evidence.

17% might a generous figure, if you ask me. The claims are that 95% or more of the minerals can be reclaimed in the recycling process "under optimum conditions", which is great for the sustainability part of it. In the shredding part of the recycling process, its comparatively easy to separate the black mass (the minerals) from the rest of the material. But after that, its gets very expensive and chemically intensive to fully reclaim and separate the black mass into the mineral components. There really isn't a cost-effective way to do that (yet) as far as I am aware. The whole recycling process is so expensive (right now), manufacturers find it easier to keep on digging. So few batteries are recycled because A) people find it inconvenient to take their batteries to the right drop off location and B) It's really difficult to make a profit without a contract deal with particular manufacturers to recycle their batteries. But yeah, if everything was being recycled consistently then we'd have something.

@@jimrageLT1 it's not a claim, it's the on Average they recover by recycling batteries, there are three basic approaches to recycling batteries each with it's own drawbacks 1. You can burn them which is wasteful and can result in toxic emissions 2. You can dissolve them in strong chemicals which is expensive and uses the most energy. Or 3. Separate them mechanically which can be labor intensive and dangerous. Until the last few years recyclers are simply ground up the batteries and sent them overseas for someone else to deal with but Redwood materials is borrowing the most useful bits from each of those categories or recycling. The Redwood materials process starts by grounding up the batteries in vacuum and they go to a conveyor belt to the RCI which is essentially an enormous slow cooker baking the materials at several hundred degrees for about an hour and perhaps it's redwoods biggest innovation thus far, traditional recycling uses well over 1,000° c or 1,800 Fahrenheit to separate out precious materials. If you go and the do some digging around you'll find the entire process of recycling Redwood materials do what I told you is just the early stages of their recycling methods learn about it and yes this is more cost effective compared to the 3 traditional ways of recycling pls do more research about this before making assumptions of what you think is happening

Despite pushback by (mostly older) Americans the rest of the world are buying EVs like crazy. It pains me to say it but Chinese EV automaker BYD (Build Your Dreams) is skyrocketing. America is freezing BYD out and talking about slapping tariffs on them but the reality is they’re sold all over the world including Canada and Mexico. The U.S. is surrounded and will cave eventually just like in the 80s over Japanese cars. Americans that think EVs are dead are fooling themselves. This is coming from a guy that’s not happy about anything I just said but I’m not afraid of being realistic.

True, it's coming. I'm not sure about BYD skyrocketing sales, though. I keep seeing reports and photos of acres and acres of unsold Chinese EVs sitting in fields. Not sure if they're BYD vehicles or not...and it is China, after all. Who knows what's true or not?

@@jimrageLT1 Warren Buffet is a big investor in BYD. Watch a few vids on the Shark, Dolphin and Seagull then read the comments. It’s eye opening. Especially the American company that took one apart that retailed for $11,500. They were shocked at how well engineered it was. Price is so low, quality is good, and it will inevitably win over younger buyers. Of course it probably listens to every word you say and runs owners profiles through AI. But the latest iPhones do that already.

Stella is huge it won't bury them. Recalls have zero enforcement. The manufacturer essentially gets to decide what the recall will be and when they'll do it. Bad actors like always claim there's no parts so that they can age the vehicles out. Some owners can't be tracked down on because they're not the original.
@jimrageLT1
@jimrageLT1 9 дней назад
You're probably right. But they do have a lot of other problems right now with sales and the need to cut a lot of inventory. Stellantis, itself, can probably weather the storm, but that doesn't mean they wont have to take serious action to keep the Chrysler brands afloat and these type of recalls certainly don't help. but, yeah, they'll probably survive.

Form is fuel and oil refresh mode. It's purpose is to protect your car and most hybrids do it for cases where you can be on electric for forever and not use your fuel (refreshes it). There is a question on if it's was too aggressive but it isn't a 'problem'. It's preventing problems.

Just wait for an aftermarket manufacturer start making an aftermarket EV battery case One that has a better protection against water intrusion, damage and has better cell conditioning But most of all can be opened so that the modules, cells and circuit boards can be fixed or replaced This will be a 'HUGE'! game changer because it will make battery repair much much cheaper EV batteries are composed of a few circuit boards and dozen or so modules which themselves contain a few hundred single cells and a few circuit boards When an EV battery goes bad it is just a circuit board or module or two Modules or circuit boards can be easily and relatively in expensively replaced When bad modules go bad the problem is usually a circuit board and or a few cells that can be replaced Auto manufacturers always make replacement parts extremely expensive
@jimrageLT1
@jimrageLT1 10 дней назад
Serviceable batteries would be a huge game changer, I agree. I think GMs Ultium batteries are kind of built that way with replaceable modules, at least. But it's not always a mechanical problem when they go bad. When cells can no longer move electrons, they're done, and the whole battery needs to be replaced. There aren't many recyclers because it's a very expensive process, so there's not a lot of money to be made, and no one will do it simply "for the planet". It's simply cheaper to make new batteries....which kinda cancells out the sustainability part of the EV argument, imo.

If you are driving a car powered with petrol you might be "F"d These ice cars catch fire way Way more than EVs, However, EV fires are big news whereas gas car fires is not reported because it is not news and often are reported as EV fires (True) EVs are safer than ice vehicles, period
@jimrageLT1
@jimrageLT1 10 дней назад
I disagree. But I've never said ICE engines don't catch fire, but they're not prone to catching fire just sitting in a garage. And, in my opinion, the huge difference is an ICE fire can be dealt with. When it's put out, it's out. An EV, on the other hand, needs to be put in a container and buried in sand for a week to make sure it doesn't reignite on its own.
