Oh please, lithium "mining" might sound great, but there's a lot more to car batteries than lithium. Cobalt, which is essential for the longevity of a battery, is mostly mined by "artisinal miners" (2/3 of world's production).

Not only that, most deposits are in geopolitically unstable regions / being explored by authoritarian regimes.
