The Truth They Don't Tell You About EVs Car : Devastation in Indonesia

[@francisa751]

Lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries, already in EVs, are an example of battery technology that does not contain nickel. And the trend is to nickel be vanished from EV's batteries, even because is too expensive. If nickel continues in the future to be mined, won't be for future EV's batteries.

[@neolithictransitrevolution427]

I would argue Nickle and even Cobalt will maintain a place in EVs, but only in sports car style vehicles or those with top end distance requirements. As you said LFPs, and Sodium ion, will remove it from the majority

[@rickagfoster]

Yes, and gas cars require mined iron and aluminum too. These videos talk about gas cars as though they just pop into existence recognizing only that they consume gasoline. Also, never mention 50% of lithium is mined using rock method, yet all we hear about is brine pools in Chile. No mention of palm oil concern industry too. Guess that’s not an issue in Indonesia? Way worse issue that nickel mining, which can easily be stopped. The Canadian Shield has more than enough and is mined from below ground.

Let share this video to all social media platform..come on guys

tyvm for another upl0ad

[@LinkeHarryB]

Every aspect of our industrialised society comes at a cost. You could then also make a documentary about coal mining, palm oil production or plastic pollution in Indonesia. Apart from such what-about-isms, Indonesia should have better environmental protection laws and enforcement to reduce the impact of such businesses.

This is why I cannot comprehend why people won't just accept nuclear energy! It's so sad... and for what? To feel good about their "green" purchases?

[@DSAK55]

the most expensive electricity there is en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levelized_cost_of_electricity

[@UCCLdIk6R5ECGtaGm7oqO-TQ]

So each vehicle should have its own nuclear reactor instead? Your comment makes no sense in the context of this video.

[@jonnyc429]

Massive cost. Look at Hinkley Point 3. Absolutely enormous cost and massively overschedule. Could have put that money into thousands of turbines and grid infrastructure which would have been built a lot quicker. Small modular nuclear seems like a sensible avenue to explore further though

[@DogeMcLovin]

@@UCCLdIk6R5ECGtaGm7oqO-TQ Heh, while quite the novel concept, no. I'm very much in favor of other renewable technologies which do not require ludicrous amounts of strip mining or other destructive extraction methods. In times where people actually believe lithium batteries are viable for storing power on the grid, I think we should take pause and reconsider.

[@DogeMcLovin]

​@@jonnyc429 Good points, and I definitely agree that small modular nuclear is promising, such as in France. Generally I chalk up nuclear costs and delays to onerous regulations, where reactors aren't built frequently enough to recoup costs in a timely manner. My thinking is that wind and solar deployment face much laxer environmental surveys and public inquiry, making it more palpable to implement, if you will. Not saying that nuclear is the cheapest option by far, though it is a value assessment between environmental concerns and economic viability.

Yeah, because extracting oil and refining it is the cleanest process that ever existed.

[@gilberttello08]

👍👍

[@UCCLdIk6R5ECGtaGm7oqO-TQ]

Far superior to extracting, refining, and burning fossil fuels.

[@Call-me-James]

There are two major errors in this video. The first is the notion that nickel is a "critical component" of EV batteries. Newer battery technologies don't require nickel. The second error is the implicit assumption that nickel mining is inherently destructive to the environment. It is only destructive if the Indonesian government allows it to be.

💰💰💰💰 its all about 💰💰💰💰💰

[@simoncurtis3779]

More and more EVs use LFP batteries that don't use nickel or colbalt.

How do most of you guys still make profit, even with the downturn of the economy and ever increasing life standards

[@Jamiewhite663]

Well, I picked the challenge to put my finances in order. Then I invested in cryptocurrency, stocks, through the assistance of my discretionary fund manager

[@Jamiewhite663]

Someone like expert Nancy Williams Laplace

[@-vv3rv]

Omg! Nancy's strategy has made winning trades a regular occurrence for me as well! It's a huge milestone when I think back on how it all started.

[@ReedMyresDavid]

Amazing! I'm so surprised to see Ms. Nancy being mentioned here under this comment!

[@OwenMaureen]

Trading is difficult, I'd spend the five grand on education for trading. It's not easy. Investing is different, that's easier. Short term or long term gain is the question.

[@muktadirkhan8576]

Am I the only one who thinks Hugh's voice sounds different? 🤔 #OnTheRoadTo200K. #Robloak.

[@royxuliang310]

I knew making the EV battery make more pollution, but it is centralised, in small area with huge problem, end up with majority area livable compare to gas, it's small pollution in mass area, end up with no place is clean. So yeah, EV. Gas people and bosses are not happy, lose job and money. But you had done enough, enjoyed life for 100years, now let us live.

[@TimothyWhiteheadzm]

It is true that almost all manufacturing has its downsides especially at the raw material end. But to pretend that this makes EVs a bad thing is just plain dishonest and almost certainly sponsored by fossil fuels. EV's are not perfect, electric buses and trains are a much better option in most places, but where vehicles are unavoidable, electric ones are by far the best for the environment.
