RE:RE:RE:Tesla Consumed More Lithium Than Next 4 Brands CombinedI think the timing of the Rose project is perfect, all the OEMs announced big plans and lots of minerals will need to come from North America. Relying on others is not a prudent strategy.
EVs are more expensive when purchased but the cost of ownership isn't that different in the long run and will hopefully get cheaper over the next few years, I'm reminded of that every week when I fill up ($75-$100) and get an oil change. When it wlll be time to replace my 8 year old car I won't get another ICE.
