If the EPA was as serious as they say about human health and safety then lithium batteries wouldn't exist to begin with! It's All and big sham!

Are they still considered Carbon Neutral?

[@cherylbrown5843]

@ The report was about cleanup of vehicle batteries. The selling point of Teslas is green vs brown and wet fuel burners. Laptop and phone batteries are most often completely consumed when they burn. Tesla batteries are infamous for reigniting. Please try to keep up.
