Yeah, I suggest you start posting some facts because that's quite a claim. Lithium uses a f** load of water to be mined, more so than copper more so than gold or zinc. (Water Use in Industries of the Future: Mining Industry" by the U.S. Department of Energy) The water footprint of lithium production" by M. Northey, T. Mudd, and D. Werner, published in ScienceDirect: This research article provides a detailed analysis of the water requirements for various forms of lithium mining, including both brine-based and hard rock mining. The authors estimate that the water footprint of lithium production can range from 100 to 20,000 liters of water per kilogram of lithium, depending on the specific extraction method used. "EVs are a big win on pollution even when largely powered by coal." This is a common misconception because the power generation for these cars has to come from somewhere... If the power generation for these cars is coal or oil where that energy is being generated is polluting those people. You are correct that it is way better for the environment in terms of driving emissions, but the emissions used to generate the power are often ignored and unless it's done, the healthy mix of alternatives such as wind, hydro, solar geothermal and nuclear, it's absolutely Ludacris suggest that EVs are cleaner without taking into account where the power is being generated.
