    EVs are going to die off. EV vehicles require huge amounts of processed metals, and we get those from shitholes like russian and china…

      Unlike the cobalt you need to refine your gasoline, mined by child slave labor in Africa. Some EVs also use it, but they are moving away from it with new chemistries. But you’ll still be using cobalt to produce your gasoline. It’s a necessary catalyst for you.

      Or the oil/gas you use, probably from Russia (because US oil can’t be refined by US refineries, due to incompatible oil grade… we export our oil, and import different oil to refine in our refineries… it’s crazy). Yes, you’re using Russian oil. They are smuggling to the international market despite sanctions.

      EVs are going to take over very quickly, especially once they become significantly cheaper than ICE vehicles. Who wouldn’t want a cheaper car that can drive 1000 miles without refueling, and can refuel quickly and more cheaply at home? And doesn’t need oil changes.

      All your problems with EVs won’t be problems in the future. Especially with future solid state batteries and sodium chemistry batteries.
