What happens to all the dead electric-car batteries?
I tell you what happens, like other electrical components:<p>1. Batteries ripped out of cars<p>2. Sold to "unscrupulous" scrap dealers<p>3. Put on boats to Phillipines or West Africa<p>4. Crushed and pounded with a rock by a 10 year old child, then burned in a rudimentary smelter to separate metals from plastics.<p>5. Extracted metals bought by middlemen<p>6. Metals certified as being safely mined/sourced<p>7. Re-manufactured into a car battery<p>Battery powered cars are going to be the next disaster, after the fibre glass disposal scandal of wind farms.<p>I'll keep my very efficient Audi diesel car (79g/km CO2) for now thanks.
