Also, mining cobalt and lithium is bad for environment, but not nearly as bad as hundreds of millions of cars constantly putting exhaust gas in the air. Not even a percent of that. If you don't believe me, get in a garage, close the door, and turn on your engine. It's really not that great. Or, you can just pickup an elementary school science textbook to learn about greenhouse effect.
And 'no one wants these cars'? Seriously? Seems like you're getting your science & market news from political outlets.

Walk within 1000 feet of the waste pools resulting from the mining and refining of the necessary materials that produce batteries and see how your health goes. Don’t forget to mention mining and refining all the same car frame/chassi metals themselves. Check out the massive deisel vehicles that facilitate exstraction of the aforementioned materials. Now consider the life of the battery packs (4-6 years) in the vehicles in amounts equal or greater than the ICE market. Still think the electric vehicle is the next good move for the globe? The transition of waste types is all we are accomplishing currently.
