As long as they were the most skilled, best surgeons available, because that is the highest priority.

Yes, lithium supply is a definite issue. Not only that, many of the metals don't significantly occur in the US.
Not only that, rising electricity prices in some parts of the US Northeast have currently made EVs more costly per mile to operate than ICEs. As solar and wind proliferate, this will drive electricity costs even higher.

Wonder if the oil companies and its supporters think electric cars are a "fad" like they assumed that in the 1990s about the internet.

We just bought a Kia Niro, plug in hybrid. I had researched them online and knew exactly which one we wanted. So down to the dealership to test drive one. Ha, they got 6 Niros in stock from the week before, they had sold 5 already, the only one left was the very model we wanted. We drove it home, there is at least a six month wait for these cars, selling them as fast as they are available. $42K out the door with tax, and all the extended warranties. getting over 50 mpg on reg gas with a 42 mile electric range which is plenty for our daily driving.

Question.
Will supply keep up with demand? or will there eventually be a supply shortages on raw materials for EV car? Ie: lithium, cobalt, nickel
Also please consider, when answering, that EV cars that are already sold will eventually need to get their batteries replaced. I understand that recycling will help contribute. But demand seems pretty high

Banning ICE use in city centers makes sense but the infrastructure can't support EVs outside of those ranges, comfortably, yet. Mass adoption to the point that the majority of vehicles sold (80-90%) would be enough that other areas of climate change would easily become a priority.
Even now, what is, 100 companies(?) produce 70% of the world's emissions? There's so much more that's needed than simply blanket bans on cars. If we can get emissions down from other areas we'd see significant improvements such that the small number of ICE (Hybrid) vehicles sold for rural transportation or as rentals for road trips wouldn't be a concern.

Also, I don't think it's much of a wake up call. Many major auto makers have already announced discontinuation of ICE development and plans to convert to EV in the next decade or less.

I don't see Rivian selling consumer vehicles after 2024.

I doubt it, the reason their deleteing it is folks like me had had enough and cancelled our subscriptions. Power of the consumer revolt. This isn't the only one, Hasbro just faced one too. It's just the beginning, folks are fed up with Corporate grifting and fighting back whether consumers or employees.

I love this for that dude and his grandparents. Loneliness is a scourge on our society. I hope everyone has at least 1 friend they can play games with a couple times a month.

People with down syndrome are always the kindest people you'll meet, just like a never ending well good vibes. Sometimes I'm honestly jealous of that ability to keep such a positive outlook

And that's the part they forget to talk about. What about states that already have a failing electric grid?

I actually tried to contact the mom to see if I could do this but I didn’t get a response. I guess this is why! Glad to hear so many people were down for that.

A girl in my third grade class had down syndrome and I wish I couldve gotten to know her better because after third grade she moved away.

I feel like this is more "even a broken clock it right twice a day" situation, but I'll be pleased to be proven wrong ( doubt it)
