“there’s no question that advances in battery storage and charging time have been made in leaps and bounds in recent years.”
Along with a need for ripping open huge mines for rare earths and copper to build these rolling eco-nightmares.
Earth First!
(we’ll strip mine the other planets later)
Tesla is ending the need for cobalt in EVs.
Bears repeating. The mines for battery materials are ecologically toxic. They make superfund sites look like beachfront property. To make matters worse, the amount of rare earth materials for battery making is much more finite than fossil fuel, and oil will still be necessary for the plastics that line in the interiors of these vehicles.
If the goal of these enviro whackos is the total cessation of oil drilling, they have no idea how much of their lives will be nonexistent if they succeed.
