This guy is knocking EVs because they may draw power from a dirty grid in some parts of the world, therefore we should be selling more PHEVs? What a ridiculous

This guy is knocking EVs because they may draw power from a dirty grid in some parts of the world, therefore we should be selling more PHEVs? What a ridiculous argument. Of course he conveniently leaves out the trajectory we’re heading in, in most places the grid is becoming more green over time. Why not attack the dirty parts of the grid itself and advocate for more green power production there instead of EVs. This guy is just embarrassing himself. Also, Lithium is not rare, it is the first metal in the periodic table. It’s just a matter of scaling up mining/production to meet demand. And you don’t even need cobalt anymore, Tesla’s new 4680s don’t use any. This guy should know all that.
He also talks about range anxiety which was a thing a few years ago but with so many charging stations all over the place and more coming online every day, and cars with higher range and fast charging. it’s not really a concern anymore and will be even less of a concern in the future.
