Yep, it's the human condition, out of sight so out of mind.They're not going to do any harm in the desert. But just because they're being dumped in the desert, doesn't mean they can't be recycled, just they can't be bothered to recycle them.
The Americans have been dumping stuff in the deserts for decades, as the thousands of dead planes and cars show, and those can all be recycled but they chose not to bother.
It's only really solar panels that are affected to protect local production, I have no problem sourcing other stuff.
Or sponsored by an energy corporation.Obviously the Uni that did the research were dumb
Been thinking about this.
A lot of folks got caught out in the USA when the road home from work was blocked by an accident, many BEV's did not have enough charge to get round the diversion and there were no charging points nearby.
They are a restricted import to France, so I have no idea.
Where do you get your information?
Invariably universities don't carry out accurate assessments, which is how they learn.Obviously the Uni that did the research were dumb
The car battery will be just fine with a 20 watt solar panel attachedIt will start to degrade in 6 months, but the volume will remain about the same.
Where do you get your information?
A typical BEV battery suffers about 2% loss of the remaining capacity per month of storage, sometimes more, sometimes less, depending on vehicle, environmental temperature and so on.
So after 6 months storage, it might loose 10% of it's charge.
You're 12 Volts starter battery for you diesel, will be dead however.
2% X 6 months is not 10%It will start to degrade in 6 months, but the volume will remain about the same.

So we are told. Putting solar on the roof is stupid expensive here.
2 % of remaining capacity per month, is as near as makes no odds, 10 % after 6 months.
Interesting, yet French cars are so cheap.
why not look at a plug in hybrid, my son has a golf, does about 60km on a charge which will get him to work, just, he charges it at work to get home, cheaper to buy, if he goes a long way he has to use some petrol but it does 5L per 100 KM which is good,
I have thought about those too. But I think the tax breaks on those have been dropped over here.
They have, but it doesn't apply under 85 horsepower.Wait till THEY start on watercraft emissions
