Unfortunately, there is far less fiscal elasticity with minerals than we have seen with much more energy dense fossil fuels over time. For example, Elon Musk, admits, to being behind the US Marines coup that exiled Evo Morales of Bolivia to undermine Lithium nationalization aims of Morales.
The cost of Lithium per ton has inflated by 350+% since that coup. I think that EVs are part of the transition away from fossil fuel reliance, but as most other solutions related to electrification just a small part. It would be smarter to retrofit existing ICE vehicles with efficiency tech...cont'd
currently hoarded in patents by individuals and by fossil fuel and various transportation industry interests. We would then have to deal with Jehvon's Paradox; but there is no choice about having to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. Capitalism will need to be eliminated to survive at this point.
Peak mining is a problem. Only point five percent of all the world's private conveyances are now EV's. Mining capacity using present technology would need to increase by more than 700%. Only one of a thousand mine sites prospected can be developed and that takes an average of 15 years
In a survey of 14,000, 7% thought the sale of petrol cars would be banned.
~1/3 thought manual EVs exist, despite them not having any transmission
one in five said they would never buy an EV.
the UK must increase its supply of EVs.
