    Then they probably don't have a 70 mph speed limit.

    I don't need to. You can remain ignorant I don't care.

    Why would it be my responsibility to Google something and soon feed it to you.

    I don't need to prove my claims to me and I don't care what you think.

    You need to clarify this "service for decades" charge.

    I refuted you claims concerning cobalt in car batteries.

    So, not to worry!

    Why?

    You need to show a constant demand of Cobalt in these plants equal to the demand for car batteries.

    Not really. I never claimed all car batteries need cobalt. Crappier ones don't
    I'm never worried when you demand I prove reality exists to you. Amused maybe.

    I have no idea what you mean by that.

    I don't mean to be hard on your English, but sometimes it means asking for clarity.

    Are you talking about cobalt again???

    If so, remember that EVs are moving away from cobalt. And, that's a positive direction for EVs.

    Musk is NOT some dedicated world wide humanitarian who is sacrificing Tesla sales to help out kids in DRC?

    Why don't you?
    You can't figure out that I never to type cobalt instead of consult? Then read my post after the edit.
    You butted into a conversation about cobalt. If you don't know that you have bigger problems than me typing the wrong word.
    You need to understand the discussion you entered.
    Don't know.

    You're having enough problems analyzing old model ICE vehicles.

    I think the reality is hard to hide. The convenience of charging at home is a hard one to beat but the reality that many people don't own their homes and thus don't have that option. People used to say this was a poor argument because a vehicle charger raises the value of the home but not if it's the wrong brand.

    I think some standardizing might help this issue

    But I've lived through a power outage. Most people have.

    Do the EV advocates ever actually talk about where the electricity comes from to charge their precious cars?

    The other problem is what a car is three to six years old, that is when most people are looking to get a new car. That creates the used car market. With the prospect of a $25,000 battery of somewhere in that cost zone being required, pretty much guts EV's used car market.
    I expect California to look like Cuba with old cars held together and a booming black market in face emission testing.

    Completely irrelevant to your claim that you are concerned about child labor regarding cobalt mining
