"In the deserts of Chile, the Australian outback and the plains of the
Democratic Republic of the Congo, the earth is being peeled back and the water
sucked up and dried out to find the minerals needed to feed the world’s need
for electric cars.
The scars left on the earth by the search for battery minerals are regularly
trotted out by opponents of the transition away from fossil fuels. But in our
EV mythbusters series, we are taking a closer look at some of the most common
criticisms of electric cars, highlighting the myths, the realities, and the
grey areas.
The first in our series asked whether we should be more concerned about fires
in electric cars. This article asks: do electric cars have a mining problem?"
