    I mean it’s pretty common knowledge that China is the biggest rare earth metals producer in the world. It’s also well known that the batteries they produces are pretty bad for environment. And it’s also known that Chinese EVs are still better for climate change than oil. It’s all been covered many many times. Are you following any news?

      The batteries are also recyclable, which should make the equation even simpler.

          The number I’m seeing is up to 95% recyclable. That’s preeetttty much the entire battery. Are you talking about something else?

        The mines are also in China. What’s your point? Why are you asking obvious question?

            Google is your friend. Not a useful one these days, but a friend regardless.
