Don’t get me wrong. I know the vehicle itself will have way lower emissions and than a regular gas or diesel vehicle, but what I’m confused on is that they will have to mine to get the raw materials to make these batteries and then once the battery is done it’s lifespan they will need to find a way to dispose or recycle these batteries. Imagine doing that capacity when the whole world has transitioned to EV.

The larger issue you are dancing around is the underlying implication that we need to 1:1 swap ICE cars for EV cars. The better solution is more diverse options, i.e. walkable neighborhoods, bikes and bike infrastructure, perhaps inductive EVs, buses, trains, etc. Essentially we need to break the auto habit we’ve developed over the last 60 or so years and live more like the rest of the world.
