Disaster Of Lithium Batteries (Public Board)
The lithium mining process "evaporation pools" wastes a ton of water. It's so bad that it's created a water shortage in countries that do lithium mining.
The batteries wear out after a few years. Replacing the batteries on an electric car costs almost as much as a new car.
There's the problem of recycling worn out batteries, and the fire hazard.
There's the range problem. You can only go 100-150 miles before you have to recharge.
