And Russian zinc and Russian nickle.
EVs require 13 minerals from 13 supply chains running through 60 countries. Half of them go through Russia.
Biden/Harris don’t mind bending over for Putin , they’re supplying both sides in the Ukraine invasion now
Gives new meaning to AMERICA FIRST.
Take a bus.
You can order a $80k Tesla today and have it in 6 or 7 months.
Otherwise take the bus and eat lentils.
No aluminum for you, come back two weeks.
And rare earths from China in the batteries.
The Toxic 900lb batteries
Russia doesn’t even rank in the top 6.
There are plenty of other suppliers of all those minerals.
“And Russian zinc and Russian nickle.”
And don’t forget the Russian platinum group metals. Hard to make a catalytic converter without them...and those metals are expensive NOW.
Of course, the metal sitting under our cars in those converters is “free”..., ask the people who have been stealing them with impunity.

There is no “My American based gasoline is exempt” from supporting this evil.
The purchase of a gallon of gasoline anywhere in the world supports the price of a barrel of oil everywhere in the world.
You support the vaccines, Ukraine, and electric vehicles. Tells me all I need to know about your “opinions.” 🤣
Bus fare prices are too high. Get a horse. On second thought, animal food prices are high too. What else is there? 😀🙃
This country has plenty of aluminum to recycle
If they actually were recycling it instead of often burying it in landfills
But who has the most Lithium?
Chinese lithium:
