When Straubel—also known for his 1984 Porsche 944 EV conversion—left Tesla, he founded Redwood Materials , a leading lithium battery recycling company in Carson City, Nevada. He had all these charts and graphs showing the power going into the motor. That was quite a conversion.” After that, the word spread fast.”

These include a fine particle filter on the front module and underbody; a solar panel on the roof; component parts made of recycled materials; and a heating system which is close to the body. The start-up found a way of converting this mixture into a homogeneous material in which the organic waste is broken down into its natural components.

Nonetheless, hydrogen fuel cell cars are, like pure battery powered cars, classed as Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEV). Every time there is a conversion of energy from one form to another there are efficiency losses – a concept known as ‘energy vector transition’. The Conversation [link] accessed 4/6/2020.

Its fuel stores about 43 megajoules of energy per kilogram, and a current-model engine can convert that stored energy into thrust with an efficiency of around 40 percent. Advanced semiconductors, motors, and batteries are enabling energy conversion efficiencies above 90 percent and continuously improving the ratio of power to weight.

Conversely, high coating thicknesses for the electrodes produce a high energy density. Even then, these batteries still possess a large portion of their nominal capacity—too high for them to be recycled. When the batteries have been run down to ten percent of their capacity, they are sent for recycling.
