People drive too damn fast - - and they idle their engines like mofos! Pardon my french but this reckless behavior kills innocent people

  Idling engines is super inefficient. It irks me to no end that we have cars sitting around just idling so their driver can listen to a tiny radio or charge their phone. Meanwhile, their engine is at low RPM's polluting their local air and whoever happens to walk by. Can't wait for EVs to be widespread so lazy humans have a power source for their lazy car-sitting behaviors.

    There isn’t enough lithium to make batteries to replace the US fleet, let alone the rest of the world. ICE will be here for a while. That’s not to mention the carbon and pollution output of creating new evs.

      This is just incorrect, lithium is not the limiting factor for EV adoption. Currently, much bigger are cobalt supply, manufacturing capacity, and the un-priced externalities of carbon pollution. If you freed up those 3 factors, batteries would scale up ridiculously quickly, though yes admittedly in 2019 we can not simultaneously replace 300+ million cars instantly.
