Difficult to believe. Cars are being churned day and night for decades, all of them use a lot of minerals. At least (in my understanding) the rare minerals that go into electric cars and their batteries are recyclable. Once the fleet is built, just recycle.
Of course, I'd prefer a future with electric trams in every street and fewer cars, all electric, all small and light to save in materials and energy.
