I agree the future looks good for EV production. There are two concerns I have.

2. What is the sustainability of raw materials for battery production? Unethical mining of the raw materials will have serious consequences on the environment. The recycling of batteries is still in its infancy stage and should be developed ahead of production.
is there an accurate comparison of the carbon footprint of EV vs fossil fuel driven vehicles. Or did the worry about that ratio get put on a ship that I missed the departure of.
