Cooley do you secretly hate EVs? So many of these videos are bearish. I own a Tesla, and not all EV drivers are excited about EVs just because we want a cleaner world. EVs are _objectively_ a better driving experience. And just like how internal combustion improved significantly over the past 100 years, EV batteries will improve as well. Longer range, easier recycling, faster charging cycles, and cheaper.

I absolutely agree to bring large number of shorter range electric cars to market, cheaper and fit for purpose. When you do longer trips, simply rent a car. Less investment in something you really don’t need. Most people don’t do more than 100km a day. And the impact on range with a lighter car is significant for that shorter commute.
Denese Dugay
May 21, 2022 at 2:44 pm
That won’t work for us disabled drivers who need modifications. But I can see it working for someone like my husband who really only drives back and forth to work every day. When we do longer trips, we can just use my vehicle.

Thank you for bringing light to this looming situation. It’s good we talk about this now vs when the problem becomes unwieldy. What we NEED is STANDARDS for size and configuration of batteries. What I worry about for reuse is if there is too much variability in shape/size, manufacturer for other electrical devices won’t go for adopting designs to accommodate used batteries. Tesla and the other EV companies need to work TOGETHER!

Not bad. Not one mention about it relative to the counterpart tho, the gas car. The “tonnage” of what was once in the ground stuff now in our atmosphere. Relative to what we are doing now EVs are far better for the environment long term…. With regards to humans wanting to keep living on it that is.

How much energy will be required to recycle the old battery? More than the creation of the original battery? Will that energy be green? We have seen war and what it does to supply chains. How will that impact global flow of rare materials?

Long live Cooley. He’s outlasted so many others at CNET, and I’ve loved his presentation style for years.
(Fun personal fact: He once published a video that had a pretty bad typo in it. This was before social media, even. So I found his work email online and dropped him a note. He responded promptly, CNET fixed the video, and it was cool to communicate with him just a tad before everyone could be tagged on Twitter.)

You also have to remember that battery tech will get smaller with bigger capacities. So over time, companies wouldn’t need as much raw materials to make new ones.
Also, there’s solid state battery tech that is a lot more efficient and has larger capacity.
D4ilyD0se
May 22, 2022 at 12:26 pm
Is it? I didn’t know that was just around the corner. And that even if that was achieved, it wouldn’t have a more negative impact on the environment to achieve something so difficult… We’ll just assume it’ll get better with no consequences. I keep hearing about these solid state batteries that continue to show difficulties in real world applications.
David Giles
May 22, 2022 at 3:03 am
I am here to tell everyone, range anxiety is truly a non issue with new EVs. I typically only charge our EV6 GT Line AWD to 80%. That gives the 274 mile total capacity battery ~220 miles of range. For our us, that gives us enough “juice” to drive around town for a few days to a week without having to charge back up. After the first couple of weeks, I quit thinking about whether we’d have enough charge to do what we needed to do, and just drove it like a regular gas powered car. The transition has been so easy that I am convinced I will never go back to a gas car.
Miguel Vega
May 22, 2022 at 12:44 pm
But that’s Just around town. Not out of town and how fast you going on highways. Also have to find a spot to charge if you traveling which it’s not a whole lot of stations and you literally have to plan if you going out

Pls take your 98-99% cleaner (lead free now…after 70+ years of kids breathing vaporized lead)… 25%ish tail pipe emission and suck on it. … Then enjoy the rest of your day in rooms filled with smokers. Don’t worry about second hand smoke, some doctors say it’s okay… 😜👍
Then explain the entire lifecycle (% recycled) of ICE vehicles including all of the trash from regular maintenance, oil spills, tail pipe emissions, etc. … So you can kinda appear balanced… Kinda…

EV adoption is accelerating every year. Exponential not linear. The only limiting factor is batteries.
The number of electric vehicles and types of vehicles and trucks is growing.
Many people are holding off buying a new car or scooter until the electric vehicle they want becomes available.
Electric vehicles are just better. No noise, no emissions, less fuel costs, less maintenance costs and amazing technology. Gasoline and diesel are OLD polluting technology. So last century. Electric cars, electric trucks, electric buses, electric trash haulers, electric snow blowers, electric lawn mowers, electric weed whackers, electric hedge trimmers, electric snow mobiles, electric water craft, electric garden tools, electric mechanic tools, electric motor cycles, electric bicycles, electric scooters, electric farm tractors, electric construction equipment, electric delivery vehicles, …… everything is going electric. No worries about starting after sitting for a few months. Gas always needs repairs. If you care about the future for your children care about climate change

It is cheaper to reuse battery materials than it is to dig up new raw materials.

I liked the EPA chart but I want a chart that focuses on smog. Goal 1; global climate change, goal 2; local climate clean up including atmosphere and consumables.

And I cannot afford to have more than the three cars I have now. Also I have a 70 mile commute a day for work. How many charge cycles can a battery hold? These are my issues with electric cars.

They are recycling our pooh, mining minerals and other goodies within. Basic a priori reasoning leads one to believe recycling of the valuable materials will be done in fact, old batteries are already used to power electrical grids.

Humanity will eventually realize that roads are already infrastructure and there’s no need to haul thousands of pounds of batteries everywhere you drive. In the future the roads will have wireless electricity transmission built-in them. This way, each car will only need 50 miles capacity battery at most.
GlennC777
May 24, 2022 at 6:07 pm
The focus on tailpipe emissions here is a bit of a red herring: that problem is all but solved; more or less irrelevant these days. Greenhouse gasses are orders of magnitude more important, and most of the arguments against EVs are pretty thin. Sure some of them are now powered by coal, but it makes sense to shift to EVs in parallel with greening the grid, and that’s exactly what’s happening, globally and in the US, with some states, on some days, meeting 100% of their electrical needs through renewables already.
Reduce, re-use, recycle is an old principle, and these are exactly the types of problems a (well-regulated, so you don’t have things like dumping of toxic waste materials) free market is good at solving, I have no doubt it will do that with EV batteries as the need and therefore the potential rewards ramp up.
Personally I have my doubts about EVs, but they have little to do with any of this. I just think adoption is going to be much slower than people expect. Cars last a long time, and my bet is that say, twenty years from now, we’ll still have at least 70%+ combustion-engine vehicles on the road and at least 50%+ among new sales as well. Possibly still even much more than that.

What most people really need is a 1-2 seat quadracycle like the Microlino or Renault Twizzy that rarely goes above 35 mph/50 km/h for 95% of their driving… And a highway capable 4-5 seater for weekly grocery runs and out of town trips… At least that’s what I’ve found when studying my own driving patterns. I only use 1 50-L tank of gasoline every two weeks generally speaking and that’s with a 12-year-old Toyota Matrix… But 95% of my trips are around town in bumper to bumper traffic. I really need a city/key car most of the time with the option to borrow/rent a full-sized car once a week… If most people are like me, what we should be doing is investing in more electric car-sharing clubs and buying small cheap urban runabouts with really low specs for our own personal whenever use…
