I noticed you didn't mention the environmental harm from mining lithium cobalt and zinc. As more electric vehicles are manufactured, more and more of these mine's will be required. Not exactly eco-friendly, as they require more than just a hole drilled into the ground. Each battery requires several tons of rock to extract a few kg of lithium, or the other elements required to make a battery. All of which are poisonous; especially to wildlife.Have you any idea how much energy is required to make a single battery? We're ok here in the UK we don't have any Lithium, Zink, or Cobalt, so out of sight is out of mind.
