    Electric cars have at least 500 Kg of toxic Lithium Ion toxic waste that cannot be recycled and most ends up in landfill to pollute rivers for the future. Ban all electric cars.
    • this waste is growing by 20 per cent per year and could exceed 100,000 tonnes by 2036
    • if recycled, 95 per cent of components can be turned into new batteries or used in other industries
    • by comparison, of the 150,000 tonnes of lead-acid batteries sold in 2010, 98 per cent were recycled, and
    • the majority of Australia's battery waste is shipped overseas, and the waste that remains left in landfill, leading to a potential fires and environmental contamination.
