Social Media Lithium FUD When it comes to Lithium Mining, The FUD - Fear Uncertainty and Doubt propagated by Random Youtubers, WhatsApp university and Oil funded media is so easy to debunk, it’s not even funny. Also EV’s have another advantage, as the grid gets cleaner your EV will emit less and less emissions.

The electric car features three different battery options, two different Lithium-based (LI) systems – A123Systems and Enerdel as well as a Sodium-Nickel battery Zebra (Mes-Dea). The true impact of electric vehicles should consider the make-up of the power grids where these cars will be used. safety requirements.
