- Those of us who can afford to acquire Electric cars enjoy the comfort of such high-tech SUVs but how many people know how EV batteries are made? Only a limited few!
As of 2018, there were 5 million new electric cars entering the auto ecosystem but over the next 20 years, analysts expect this number to hit between 300-500 million cars. How will such a staggering number of cars be powered? The answer is obvious. Electric rechargeable batteries.
In this video, we will expose the global geopolitics of EV batteries and how the promise of clean and renewable energy is hanging on the precipice of success and failure at the same time.

★ Thank you for watching our video: How EV Batteries Are Made
Shouldn't politicians know about this before banning traditional cars?
Pretty sad only 26 thousand people see this video but millions will watch Cardi B
4 minutes in and I’m done. They should rename this video to-how to drop in political propaganda under the guise of a ev battery creation tutorial.
This has nothing to do with how a battery is made; it's just high-horse preaching about how battery bad.
EV Batteries are made of recyclable lithium.
EV's are not the answer. The carbon foot print they leave is just as high, if not higher than gas powered cars.
So switch from petrol reduces air pollution and gets rid of engine and transmission oil changes right? But EV's look like they do more harm based on the processing of the raw materials.
Lets look at just 7% of a current EV battery - lithium. A ton requires 500 tons of ore and 500,000 gallons of water to be refined. In 2022, Lithium production was 130,000 tons - total ore 65, million tons, and 65 BIllion gallons of water. How much CO2 to move that? If half the lithium was used for cellphones etc - you could only make 6 Million Y size battery packs. Opps there are 1.4 billion light vehicles and 100 million sold annually - So is it possible to get to 500 million lithium EVs? No and even if you could the C02 used to dig it up and process and manufature is all very non Eco friendly - this was just Lithium. There is Cobalt, manganese, copper, nickel, and a dozen other materials that need mining before your 4500 lb EV gets built.
There was hardly anything about EV battery manufacturing in this video
This video needs to be re-named: What EV batteries are made of
Cobalt, Nickel and Manganese are not a variant of Lithium. They all are different chemical elements.
I kind of wanted to know the process of how they are made. IOW, from the moment the cobalt is mine, then refined, then transported to the factory to be extruded (yadda, yadda, yadda) into the actual physical battery-this with all the other materials as well.
More than 2/3 of EV battery sold and made in China are the LiFePO4 type of battery, which does not contain any Ni or Co. So, I doubt some of the statement and judgement in this video about this part...
You only seem to highlight the worst case - like ignoring the fact that 60% lithium comes from Australia.
Argentina, chile an bolivia have lithium. Sounds like they ahve some freedom coming their way.
Great video
The writing is in the wall. People cannot expect to consume energy without extracting something from the ground. We want things now and will sacrifice our mothers to get it
incomplete video, how its made is not shown.
I wonder what the EV manufacturers are planning long term? The US didn't have gas stations everywhere when gas cars were growing in popularity. Demand caused the change. So, what can we expect the EV demand do to the supply of batteries? The scientists are demonstrating new battery technologies all the time. Maybe a new tech will help the manufacturers out of the problems stated in this video.
You should look up videos of lithium mines.
