    The only “everyone” are trolls, paid or otherwise, the ignorant, and right wingnuts parroting the trolls and ignorant.

    And there are a shitload of them who all seem to want to show off that opinion.

      Half my family believes this it’s one of the major reason they don’t switch to EVs despite being believers of climate change.

        Pretty insane how well that disinformation works. If you are worried about nickel, mangan and cobalt, just get a car with an LFP battery, which doesn’t need those heavy metals (it is based on lithium and iron phosphate). The only other critical resource in appreciable amounts is neodynium for permanent magnets. We are talking about 1-3 kg per car.

        If you think that makes EVs worse for climate or environment than ICE vehicles, think again.

      And idiots who spend lots of money on overpriced ice cars to impress their mates

      That’s why they are so concerned about the resell value in a years time, because they’re not buying the car they want, only one that is fashionable
