    I admit, I did not read the long article. Of course the mining of the resources necessary for electric cars is not without downsides, like a lot of resources. Care should be taken that the downsides are minimized.

    The good thing is once the resources are mined and they are used in a battery, they can be recycled almost completely. Whereas once petrol is burned, it’s gone forever.
