Reply to comment by Beyond-Time in Inexpensive and environmentally friendly mechanochemical recycling process recovers 70% of lithium from batteries by chrisdh79

Ev bikes use a really small fraction of lithium compared to ev cars, and are super efficient and have enough torque to pull trailers. But car manufacturers don't want you to know that.

In their current state, you aren't pulling any significant amount of weight any significant distance in any reasonable time with that. Not to knock EV bikes, I think they're great. But this isn't that move away from lithium that other other guy spoke about. If this process is as good as the article states it to be, then we might never really need to move away from lithium for a very long time.
