I recall seeing a program about a big ass lithium deposit(s) in Bolivia that will produce for decades. Pretty sure Tesla is good

Apparently not clear enough. Listen again. More carefully this time.
Yes, you most definitely can and that will kill them. What were the individual cell voltages of your Hoverboard? That would give us a better insight into your theory.You can't overcharge Lithium like you can a car battery. I took my board apart and my li batteries were unbalanced.
This has been answered extensively on this forum and others. Lithium Batteries can be recycled very easily and do not contain mercury like other chemistries. This thread does seem to attract some misinformation about Lithium.Does anyone know or realize how much of an environmental impact this is going to have to mine and process this much lithium and from where?

It's not just the recycling. It's the acquisition.
Ah, the age-old argument that because EVs are not 100% green, that they are completely worthless.
Nevermind the fact that they're substantially greener than gas cars--because they're not perfect, let's completely dump EVs and stick with gas cars!
I think you're forgetting that while transitioning, EVs are better than no EVs.
Mining equipment will eventually be 100% electric powered fully by renewable energy.

Here is information on where Lithium comes from and how it's recovered.

You can bet none of this is planet friendly. I'm all for EVs and drive one myself...but this trigger-cheerleading many here seem to have just because it's a Tesla and somehow it's immune to the same laws of physics and environmental issues is ridiculous. We need to be aware of these issues before we swallow the Koolaid of any automaker that claims they are doing the world a favour.

Pretty much none. Lithium is mined in deserts (since all you need a salty lake) where the damage is usually minimal. It's about as environmentally friendly as you can get. Mining doesn't even require a lot of electricity, plain old solar evaporation is used to concentrate the brine.Does anyone know or realize how much of an environmental impact this is going to have to mine and process this much lithium and from where?
So mining once for the Battery some how equates to non-stop mining for the life of a fossil fueled vehicle?
You know that 1+1=2 right?
Mining ONCE? What does that mean?
