So fund it better. EVs are fine, nothing unproven about them at this point.

@QuixoticSoul how do we disposal them?

@checkoutanytime Most electric vehicles use lithium ion so the same way you would deal with an old laptop battery.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow but × 1,000 per individual, sounds minute degree of burden till you check the numerical damage.

@checkoutanytime Just because a battery is bigger doesn't magically change the method of disposal.

@checkoutanytime Recycle them.

@checkoutanytime We're wasting more money right now by using old obsolete vehicles that are inefficient and unsafe. Not only do they cost money to refuel, but they need constant repair and money has to be paid in workers' comp to employees who get injured on the job because of faulty vehicles.
