Is rhodium used in electric cars?
The catalytic converter was recently stolen from my friend’s car, and it was a huge hassle to replace it. Is rhodium, the expensive mineral used in catalytic converters, used in electric cars?

It’s true that catalytic converter theft is on the rise due to the previous minerals they contain, one of which is rhodium.
Electric cars
however are not at risk for catalytic converter theft because they do not have a catalytic converter. This might seem a little confusing, as
hybrid cars
are one of the biggest targets of catalytic converter theft, but that’s because more emissions-friendly vehicles tend to contain higher concentrations of palladium. While electric cars don’t contain a catalytic converter, you’ll still need to protect your electric car from potential theft and vandalism. Sign up with the
