The problem is we are using only thinking about replacing gasoline vehicles with EVs. We need to also build robust electrified transportation infrastructure like urban rails and intercity rails. Many parts of the world - Asia and Europe are leaders in building convenient and robust rail system to solve traffic congestion. If we are building EVs so we have all sit in traffic just like before, we haven't solved anything.

I can't remember the last time I watched a corporate news piece that was this well researched and informative. this is the role that press really need to leverage, access to these people and players in the real world.

@justinhealey-htcohio3798

I have to give credit where it's due...
I love the fact that you guys are producing and posting videos that dive deep into the granular details related to complex issues like electric vehicles, energy storage etc... 

*I have been so fed up with so many channels that post 2-3 minute videos covering stuff like this that simply cannot adequately cover all of the details!

EV batteries are an environmental nightmare.

@finned958

It’s not easy to dispose of old batteries. I wish I can place in Trash cans and they take it away for recycling.

@cpa889900

Interesting...my Best Buy wouldn't accept my battery for recycling. I was told that Best Buy doesn't participate in the recycling of batteries anymore

@jamesdond1

"The mining and manufacturing of batteries is indeed not a very friendly activity" (5:10)  Indeed, a 2017 study from Sweden pointed out that a new Tesla already is responsible for more CO2 being emitted than a Camry will in its lifetime.  This is not counting the CO2 the electric power plants will emit while charging Tesla's batteries.  How again is this saving the planet from excessive CO2 emission?

@geesaidit541

Excellent report! This type of information is typically so obscure or hidden from average consumers.  It is so helpful to be educated on the effects and options we have using products.  At least this way we can make more informed and intelligent decisions. Thank you CNBC!

There is such a thing as LFP Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery from CATL and BYD. Its Cobalt and Nickel Free. Its safer too.

@johnkang1202

Lithium mines waste copious amounts of water. For water strapped Nevada. Wildlife. Land deformation? They gonna drain aquifers mining out that lithium. Crazy.

@rodiculous9464

That dude is so right, I have so much old junk tech laying around and it seems wasteful to throw it away but idk what to do with it either, will look into those places they said though

@grahammewburn

When I was born in 1948 there were 2 billion people. 
Now there's 8 billion. 
Demand for everything is excessive 
Demand for many products and materials will continue to exceed supply

@shaneintegra

PLEASE recycle your used lithium ion batteries! Its crazy how much of the battery can actually be used to make new batteries

@voranartsirisubsoontorn

Switching to EV has created more problems than benefits.

@oby-1607

There needs to be a world standard that all batteries are made to be easily recyclable.  This would speed the recycle process and reduce/prevent toxic substances going to landfills.

@ValentinaFilippova-q5p

Great respect to you for helping people you are honest and good person

@JacobAnawalt

Great reporting. Thank you!

@Ogden1

Nvidia stock is roaring like many did during the 1990s bubble. But this time around, the hype around new chips is happening in a more mature demand environment. I want to invest more than $300k, but not sure on how to mitigate risk

@philipanderegg5973

Easy solution, offer to pay people for their old electronics if they're that valuable to you

@jessicawha8593

It is better to invest now. You will never be younger than you are today and there will never be a perfect time to invest. Due to compounding, which Einstein called the 8th wonder of the world, you can get rich slowly from investing if you do it from a young enough age.
