It's good to highlight these issues but honestly I'm just not worried about that because this is the kind of thing that spurs innovation. That could be recycling more copper, using less copper, findin gnew sources of copper, finding alternatives to copper and so on. Remember that copper's primary use is as a conductor and there are lots of conductors from aluminium to gold. I don't expect fuel-based vehicles to go away completely because there are still use cases where fuel is better than electric. Cold conditions are still a problem for EVs. Range is another factor. What I expect to see more of is using renewables to store energy in the form of fuel instead of in batteries eg producing methanol, methane, ammonia or kerosene. This will at least be carbon neutral. It's not currently economic to do it but the advantage comes in not needing potentially expensive batteries, being relatively easy to store and not requiring power grid infrastructure in remote or unstable regions.
