Tesla Swiss Tsunami!

Tesla begun exporting the Model 3 to Europe in large numbers this year.
The Swiss have certainly been buying them up and last month smashed their old monthly record for ev sales! 2162 ev sales as opposed to 1341 sales! "The first time that an electric vehicle is #1 on the Swiss vehicle market — across all fuel sources!"



Battery Recycling
Opponents of electric vehicles have been using the argument that ev batteries can't be recycled. That is just not true and many 3rd party companies have been recycling Tesla ev batteries, and those from other car makers, for over 7 years now. But now with Tesla and BMW, amongst others, planning to use recycled batteries in their new car production, this criticism is now gone!

16/4/19 "Tesla announced that it will open its own battery recycling facility."
"The new processing center at the company's Gigafactory in Sparks, Nevada to process both old batteries used in customers' Teslas as well as those from its own research and development.The company says lithium, cobalt, aluminum, copper, and steel will be recovered from the batteries in a closed-loop system that optimizes the materials for new battery production. It also says it expects to save money producing new batteries from the recycled materials, rather than buying new minerals for its batteries."


The more evs that are produced and sold the better for the Graphite market! Hopefully, Volt will be a part of that market supplying Graphite to a range of companies, like its binding off-take partner Tianshengda, which processes Graphite to create "expandable graphite, flake graphite and powder, as well as supplying graphite to the lithium-ion battery market."


Walkabout (wkt) hit an amazing 34c today! It was 9.6c on January 31st! That is an amazing sp rise in just 11 weeks!
