7·8 months agoNowhere in your response did you address critical thinking.
They have classes for critical thinking in elementary school in Memphis? Doubt that.
Posting for anyonee else who follows this thread, he wasn’t capable of understanding the research.
Figure 1 shows the remaining capacity for several samples of LFP chemistry batteries after thousands of cycles. LFP is the most commonly used battery chemistry in electric cars right now. The data presented showed that almost all of the samples had >80% usable capacity after 3000 cycles.
Typical use of an electric car would require 1-2 charges per week. At 2 charges per week, 1500 charges is over 14 years of usable lifetime before the capacity of the battery degrades to 80%.
And as I said before, there are lots of good uses for battery packs at 80% degradation.
Its near worthless after ~3000 cycles or so given today’s chemical compositions
That’s not true. It typically takes that many cycles to get down to 80% of the original capacity, which is not “near worthless”. Packs at this capacity can be used for a long time in applications such as fixed solar batteries, as I mentioned in my original response to you.

I will not be responding to you, you seem to be trolling.
You don’t have to do any of that to repurpose the batteries.
If the car is junked due to a wreck or other failure unrelated to the battery, grab the cells out if it and use them for something else. Eventually, the car body and the battery will be worth more as separate components, the car body will be recycled for the steel and aluminum, and the battery will be repurposed. It’s not complicated.
I think this is a short sighted take. The current batteries being produced will be useful for decades, even if they don’t support the full duty cycle for cars during that lifetime. If they degrade to being only able to charge/discharge to 70% of original duty cycle, they can be used for home solar systems in that state for decades. I fully expect this business model of repurposing degraded batteries to emerge as significant numbers of battery electric cars end useful life in a decade or so.
In the meantime, there will be alternative battery chemistry options that will become commercially viable and will continue to improve. A car based on sodium batteries launches in early 2024. It’s not as good a range / capacity as lithium chemistry, but that’s not going to be the case forever. Battery chemistry will continue to improve rapidly, there’s lots of competition in the space and good incentives to drive research.
Also, charging infrastructure continues to improve, battery charge times improve, battery only vehicles becomes a feasible option for more people, utilities introduce time of use plans to incentivize off-hours charging, etc.

There are plenty of Democrats in Alabama. He didn’t have to run for public office.
I assume there will be a new proceeding against her at the Colorado Bar. She’s already been censured.
GILFs in your area want to see Beetlejuice and get handsy.
Moose! Rocco! Help the judge find his checkbook.
Great, now do Tuberville. Pretty sure he’s been living in his house in northwest Florida for almost a decade now.
15·1 year agoAmazon and several other companies hired like crazy during pandemic. Now they’re trying to shrink the workforce via a combination of outright layoffs and tight policies to make anyone on the verge of quitting go ahead and do it so they don’t have to pay severance.
Bonus points for shedding older, more experienced, more expensive employees vs. cheaper early in career employees.

2·1 year agoOh, thanks for the correction. I misunderstood which Friday it was. Almost two weeks to surrender seems generous.
Now what would be super interesting is if the Georgia Court doesn’t grant him bail on Friday. That would throw a bit of a wrench in his plans to be somewhere on Monday. Near-zero chance of that happening, but it’s the only way to keep him from intentionally trying to taint the jury pool.

Another use case: when you look at activities that flow across multiple devices and you’re correlating the sequence of events, having every device set to the exact same, ideally correct time makes correlation of events less confusing.
