Lithium is a very toxic element metal, unlike gold or silver, not many countries want to mine it, 98% of lithium is not recycled and goes in to land fills or dumps, causing even worst toxins in peoples water canals and ocean, it is way cheaper to mine lithium than recycle it, the huge amount of lithium used to make just one lithium car is not sustainable for all cars, lithium is a water guzzling toxic element metal, it takes 1000 gallons of clean water turned very toxic , just to mine or build one lithium car(just one)this is just lithium and not including cobalt which is another of many other real toxic element metals in the build of a lithium toxic car ( just horrible) on top of this, most lithium cars are still connected to the oil and coal grids!
Fuel cells catalysts and membranes , there anode and cathodes are becoming small, very efficient that one day a tank the size of a large coke bottle full of cheap green hydrogen will take your car 500 miles, hydrogen refillable tank canisters sold at convience store stands, this will be the infrastructure, hydrogen fuel cell top ups just like phones, or like connecting ones BBQ propane grill except it will be with hydrogen with no toxins, very simple, they already exist, make 5 types of hydrogen canister types, lite carbon fiber tanks 5 times stronger than steel, hydrogen car tanks canisters made for high car impact, this is coming, when a lithium car is still in the company assembly line it has already polluted more than a hydrogen fuel cell car that has been on the road for more than 125000 miles! the new fuel cell engines are truly remarkable, super safe and getting better, smaller very cost effective by the moment , secret about hydrogen fuel cell cars is that each car actually cleans the air as it runs due to it`s clean watered electrolysis when released onto the atmosphere.
