I’m tired of the way things are and am actually excited for BYD. They build really great electric vehicles and I saw one video where it charged up just as fact as refueling gasoline would be

The (small number of) TTC electric buses are BYD. They got built in Newmarket but I think the production stopped due to some issues. A larger scale attempt might be needed. :D That said, we might want to try that with sodium-ion batteries.
That is cool! I heard when they did the procurement a while ago, but I did not know what happened after. It is great to know that they were made here.
I think once we have plenty of buses (and other EVs) around, the battery recycling will catch up. Just like it happened with the lead-acid.
For sure. That said, for applications where applicable, sodium-ion kinda makes recycling moot. There’s “unlimited” supply of the input materials. CATL and some smaller factories just started production and it’s already cheaper than LFP. I haven’t checked if buses are suitable application but I think they should be.
