Scrap value of IC engine car is about £30-£50. Scrap value of EV is £-700 due to cost of material recovery. Lifecycle must be considered. – at London, England
We recycle 95% of the conventional car, by weight. How do we get EV tech to a similar level? Circular economy discussed at RI debate today. – at London, England
Sam Haig from Axion demonstrates material recycling challenges for electric vehicles at the Royal Institution @theapcuk – at London, England
How do we know we're buying materials from well managed sources? Should batteries come with a certification? RI debate today @theapcuk – at London, England
Mining for rare earth materials for EV use causes huge local pollution issues with current practice. Debate @theapcuk – at London, England
Frances Wall discusses the challenges of mining for the materials to support EVs. 10 years to open a mine. How to support demand? @theapcuk – at London, England
Can we manage peak load on the grid through localised energy storage? See the EV debate at the Royal Institution @theapcuk – at London, England
Grid can support about 40% of vehicles switching to electric, and that infrastructure may take decades to update. Debate at the RI today. – at London, England
Grid sized to support peak load of about 1.5kW per home. EVs will use many times more. Challenges of EV introduction discussed at the RI now – at London, England
Dave Roberts from EA discusses grid impact of electric vehicles at the Royal Institution @theapcuk – at London, England
No need for EV range greater than human bladder range. Great quote from @bobbyllew at the Royal Institution today! @theapcuk – at London, England
Robert Llewelyn talks about user experience of EV's at our debate at the Royal Institution. Can we put the Z in ZEV's? @theapcuk @bobbyllew – at London, England
Can we put the Z into ZEV's? In a way....
At the Royal Institution now, discussing what that means @theapcuk
Drive an EV in a country with high dependency on coal fired power stations, you do more harm than good.

R.I.P. I.C.E? Not quite yet according to the experts at our debate. Have a read of some of the highlights: apcuk.co.uk/2016/11/r-i-p-i-…
Incremental change will not lead us to the right solution. We must consider the energy system rather than transport in isolation #RIPICE – at London, England
