And all these eco warriors who are saving the planet by creating these lithium batteries for cars at great environmental cost haven't actually worked out what to do with the old batteries as recycling them is very tricky and thus very expensive meaning very few companies will touch them, and even then it's at huge cost!
Rob says they have had to change quite a few at Suzuki under warranty and they are only the mild hybrid ones (still about £3k worth of battery that can only assist the car, not drive it...) but they have real probelms with what to do with the old ones....
Giulietta JTD 170
Lancia Delta integrale
Lancia Flavia coupe 1.8 1963
Lancia Dedra turbo
Renault Clio 197 RS

I'm bad with people things
But I should have tried more

Interesting - maybe it is time for a revival of that other fuel that nobody will touch and is very difficult and expensive to dispose of...

In case you hadn't heard of the Ford Nucleon, it was to be driven by an on-board nuclear reactor in a removable pod between the rear wheels. Fortunately this mad idea never made it off the drawing board :lol:
