I have not fact checked this and do not have an original source link but I find it an interesting story.
The photos will likely not post but they are of a parking lot with hundreds of EV's:
Ya gotta wonder why all this anti-green information isn’t getting out to the general public. I guess there’s no money to be made!
GREEN ELECTRIC CARS AT END OF LIFE
This is a boneyard near Paris, France with hundreds of electric powered cars. Mind you these are only cars used by the City of Paris and not personal vehicles. All of these have the same issue…... the battery storage cells have given out and need to be replaced. Why not just replace them you ask? Well two reasons. First the battery storage cells cost almost double what the vehicle cost new, and second no landfill or disposals will allow the batteries to be disposed of there. So these green fairy tale electric cars are all sitting in vacant lots while their batteries drain toxins into the ground.
Still think we need to go green???
Europe has very few and very small hydro-electric power generation projects but they do have a number of nuclear generators. Solar and wind farms are everywhere but, as Germany has discovered, they have a NET ZERO benefit because the energy to mine, manufacture, install and maintain solar and wind farms equals (closely) the power generated. So, Germany has gone back to coal and gas generated electricity. And they are just completing a large natural gas pipeline from Russia. I’m not sure about France or the rest of Europe. That means these Green EV's were likely powered by dirty electricity. Does that shatter your day?
