Are EVs and battery powered tech actually sustainable?
Lithium is a finite resource which needs to be extracted from the earth via mining (or maybe this new evaporation technique).
Surely there’s not enough lithium for everything to be powered by battery. It feels like swapping one unsustainable resource for another. We already are struggling to meet demand for EVs despite making up a small portion of the worlds vehicle production.
