Sorry didn’t see it in the article but what’s it made of, and is it as environmentally disastrous as lithium? And how quickly does it charge?
10 minutes allegedly for the charge.
Lithium is disastrous only if not recycled.
Unfortunately recycling is expensive so less profitable
I think you meant expensive.
Not a lot of lithium is recycled nowadays. Added to this is the fact lithium is stuffed into all sorts of disposable junk tech that will likely never even be considered for recycling.
This is the actual problem. Lithium can theoretically be recycled. Governments need to force investments in research and, once good methods are available, force recycling.
No company will do it without push
