Hi all.
Seems that the EU have again shot themselves in the foot by totally banning NiCad batteries, as it seems that the recycling of old batteries into the electric vehicle (EV) market is not allowed.
This effectively means that LiIon is the only acceptable choice, and given the lack of a certified pack design for automotive use means that they have effectively outlawed electric vehicles for the forseeable future.
So the next time you fill up at the pump and see the ridiculous price of petrol, you can blame the idiots in Brussels :(
