Anyone who has seen a lithium mining site in person will be a LOT less enthused about EV vehicles in general. And if you actually live near a lithium mining site... lets just say EV vehicles will be the worst thing that's ever happened to you.

Doesn’t this logic also work for oil wells? At least lithium can be recycled. I know the infrastructure doesn’t currently exist, but that’s not to say that it won’t with economies of scale.
I'd rather be beside a Lithium mine than an oil refinery.
easy to say
