Is there enough copper for electric cars?
Electric vehicle technology is so new, I don’t know much about it. I was wondering is there enough copper for electric cars?

With electric car technology, there can be a lot of
confusion
, questions, and concerns. Because copper is 100% recyclable, there’s enough of it to meet EV demand.For reference conventional internal combustion cars use 18-49 pounds of copper per car, hybrid electric vehicles use about 85 pounds, and plug-in hybrids and battery electric vehicles use between 132-183 pounds of copper per car.
So it is true that electric cars use much more copper per car than gas cars, we don’t have to worry about there being enough copper available to meet demand.
While you may have questions on electric cars, you should never have to question if you’re paying too much for auto insurance. But comparison shopping can be a real pain with all the phone calls, paperwork, etc.
So, what if there was an app that could do it for you?
