Presumably from the same place all the lithium and the necessary infrastructure upgrades would come from (even for "regular" EVs). Maybe Toyota has wised up to the game after getting backlash for commenting honestly on its realistic strategies. In 2023, we want vaporware that promises to fix climate change by emitting 6x as much CO2 during production, but don't worry, it'll break even with ICEs after a mileage that the battery will never get to.

> it'll break even with ICEs after a mileage that the battery will never get to Generally EVs get to 15-20k miles without issue, which is the break even point on the optimistic side: https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/when-do-electric-vehicles-become-cleaner-than-gasoline-cars-2021-06-29/ https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/when-d... Even ~40-80k (the high estimate for break even) isn't that many miles / doesn't take long to achieve. There's been a lot of FUD recently about EVs being more damaging to the climate than ICE, please correct it when you see it.
