Great review.
In regard to the charging stations and the way they work, too bad there isn't a 100 year old method that was updated about 50 years ago to allow you to use credit cards to fill up your tank. I mean why use something simple when you can make it complicated?

Forget the solar panels. Power your car with a wiggling, vibrating, phallic pole on your roof. This is what Texas needed.

A little look inside battery recycling.
Elon Musk has suggest that once we have enough used batteries form grid storage, EVs, home storage, etc. then there will be a shift away from mining from materials to recycling of materials. This is less possible with oil and with the recycling of plastics because of the economics; it is just cheaper to extra oil than to recycle, so without carbon subsidies, there is less incentive, but this wouldn't necessarily be the case for lithium, nickel, etc. These materials are harder to extra and sometimes require shipping from other parts of the world (Elon Musk is planning to have local mining), so it will probably be more economical to recycle these materials. It obviously already is or this guy wouldn't be in business.

My plan is to have an electric for my commuter and an ICE car for the weekends. I’ll be like John Wick at the airport doing donuts

The average person who does 12k-15k miles a year are the ones we hope to see move to electric and who will make the bigger impact. While enthusiasts do also contribute more with our decatted cars and performance modifications, we represent such a small amount of the vehicles and of the miles traveled that we aren't really the focus.

Car-wise, I will retain an ICE probably "my forever", but I would would be willing to buy an electric car as a commuter. Since I usually keep one of each that is a practical solution for me. I'm basically just waiting for an EV I find compelling.
