"Those who are excited about electric cars and the green revolution should take a closer look at batteries, as well as wind turbines and solar panels.
- The typical electric car battery weighs 450 kg and is approximately the size of a suitcase. Contains 11 kg lithium, 27 kg nickel, 20 kg manganese, 14 kg cobalt, 91 kg honey and 180 kg aluminum, steel and plastic. There are over 6000 separate lithium-ion cells inside.
- To make each BEV battery, you’ll need to process 11,340 kg salt for lithium, 13,600 kg of cobalt ore, 2,268 kg of nickel resin and 11,340 kg of copper ore. Overall, you have to dig out 226,800 kg of soil for a battery. "
- The biggest problem with solar systems is the chemicals used to turn the silica into the coating used for the panels. In order to obtain sufficiently pure silicon, it must be treated with hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, fluoride, trichlorotane and acetone.
