Are electric cars too heavy for bridges?
Because of the weight of their batteries, which can add 1,000 pounds or more, many are much heavier than their fossil-fueled counterparts. There are seven that exceed that 6,000-pound weight limit imposed on that bridge and many narrow roads. That includes cars like the Tesla Model X, Audi e-tron, and BMW iX.May 10, 2023

Nice to know you don't use lithium in your devices.
Oh, and your number sounds a tad exaggerated a lot.

How do you not use lithium these days? If you have a cell phone, a laptop, a tablet you don't have a choice.

Besides this isn't about rechargeable batteries so much as it is about how we will have no other choice but to by an EV after 2030. It is being forced on us. They're making auto manufacturers switch to producing EV's and they will be shutting down gasoline production.

Re "How do you not use lithium these days?" Lithium can be part of a well balanced diet. (for some!)

LOL!! Thanks for that.

Yeah, um, no.
