It's a 3 volt battery, so good for hearing aids or similar. Not sure how I'd feel having a small nuclear source next to my head TBH.

well thats all that is in the EV battery packs just a few hundred thousand smaller batteries, soon as they get the nuclear battery to a D cell size u could use em all in a EV so no charging needed for 50 years, just dont worry bout the crash testing

That is a YT channel link to Plainly Difficult.
He mostly covers atomic energy accidents like how in Mexico some scrap metal guys got hit with ionising radiation from a medical source (cobalt from memory)
Then there was these Balkans guys that found an old soviet source ect ect ect.

If any moron (not you but governments) thinks this is a good idea then the world is screwed.

Russia made "nuclear batteries" probably some 50 years ago. There are some interesting video's about them, how they have been left abandoned....

Hey All,
Nothing too much to share - both cars still going well.

Model 3 now at 8482km. Lifetime charging cost now: $216.61. Equivalent cost in the ZB @ 12L/100km and $2/L = $2035 - so $1819 in fuel savings in ~9 months.
Model Y now at 4295km. Lifetime charging cost now: $11.94. Equivalent cost in the Astra @ 7L/100km and $2/L = $601.30 - so $589 in fuel savings in ~9 months.

Average cost of power used for charging in the Model 3 is 14.4 c/kWh*.
Average cost of power used for charging in the Model Y is 1.5 c/kWh.

Model 3 charging costs are still influenced heavily by being with AGL for 3 months before I switched over to Amber in late July. Also, I work from home a couple of days per week, so have been able to take advantage of negative grid pricing more often than with the 3.

Model 3: 2nd May - 2nd August - $169.75 in charging 571.24 kWh = 29.7 c/kWh
Model 3: 3rd August - 4th Feb - $46.86 in charging 933.27 kWh = 5 c/kWh
