GMI agree that Larry needs to beef up the PR, but he does need to go out and hire outside the company. More and more Zarko's presentation skills are enhancing. He knows more about the technoical end than anyone. That maybe what Larry is trying to achieve. If you watched Zarko's recent technical presentation you can understand what I am saying. Yes we need younger PR and knowledgable. Staying within the company will yield the best results.
GM has declared that they will have for sale 30 new EV vehicles by 2025. Their only EV is the Bolt and sales for it topped in 2017 and have decreased since. During the 2020 superbowl they advertised the new EV hummer and will start taking oders at the end of 2021, maybe, no delivery date specified. GM's battery partner is LG who just lost a $1.8 billion patent infringement case to SK. Together they claim their new battery will travel 500 miles and and can be charged in 15 minutes. They have shown no proof of concept. The same goes for their recycling partner.
Review of the Li-cycle website shows no technical basis for their claims, it is just basically cartoon ads. Please do not believe me review it yourself. Also their technical officer has no Battery experience.
I have to agree with Larry, none of the competition has exposed any criteria which demonstrates the ability to recycle EVB material with any efficiency. I have checked their sites, online search and patent office. Nothing that will document what proven capabilities they have.
Believe me, I searched because I was looking for another entity for investment and found nothing in the recycled battery world.
