Matt / Undecided tells us about the current state of the sodium ion battery market. Some of the new developments.
Matt Ferrel describes how renewables – solar panels and wind turbine blades – and battery storage are being recycled.
But EV batteries will seldom if ever need to be replaced. Some EVs have a million kilometer warrantey, and MG is giving a lifetime battery warrantee. The whole anti-EV crowd is a bunch of BS.

Sam Electric Viking’s 10.7 min video tells about CATL’s 600 thousand mile battery.
Quote: “”A new study of 10,000 electric cars shows that their battery packs should outlast the vehicles themselves….”” Your electric car will fall apart before its battery pack does, study finds
This is a simple charge controller that includes a dump load to dissipate excess power from the PV panel. D1 is the reference voltage that feed the 393 comparators, and its forward voltage changes with temperature. It would be better to use a low power LM317 to give a stable 1.25 volts. Instead of a

North America just got a new recycled Li-ion battery materials plant
This is great! But it’s just a start – we need much, much more storage deployment as soon as possible. US battery storage smashes deployment records in Q4 2023
