Your average EV has six times more mineral content than a petrol or diesel-powered vehicle – and all those metals need to be dug, scraped, blasted, or leached out of the earth. There is massive demand for batteries as countries eye up ambitious zero emissions targets. But what’s the cost?

'Artisanal Mining' is one of the best "spins" I have ever come across.

One thing this report leaves out is all the equipment used to mine and process are combustion engines and coal produced power plants. And it is coat prohibited to change any of this.

In minute @6:00 the guy says "que vengan ascinerando" which you translated roughly to "they should come to us with dialogue". That's not a bad translation but the language he uses expresses decades of frustration with companies that have rejected the dialogue previously.

In the end, nothing is done without costs. For any situation, there are no solutions, only tradeoffs.

Mining is mining. It is dirty, uses lots of water and creates lots of waste. It was a problem long before EVs came on the scene, but now we say mining for lithium is so awful?! If we single out lithium for EVs then we also need to get agitated over gold mining, tar sands (oil), bauxite mining (aluminium), phosphate mining, copper mining, coal mining and opencast iron mining.

People often complain about lithium mines and damaging the Earth but the ratio of the area covered by lithium mines vs coal mines is the same as the the ratio of the state of Delaware to all of Canada, the USA and 1/2 of Mexico combined.

A copper mine in northern Arizona leaches into the local stream; the fish cannot be eaten as they are toxic. Birds and goats will die if they drink much of it.

Old copper telephone cables can be replaced by optical fiber and the copper can be recycled.

Now wasn't that defunct copper mine there before EVs were even mass produced?

Please also make a True Cost video about the petrol or diesel-powered vehicle and it should start with taking petroleum from underground, the extraction process, the processing, transporting it to petrol pumps, and burning it to the atmosphere, and what happens to it once it is in the atmosphere, and also whether there is an option to recycle the burnt petrol...

Uranium for the first atomic bomb used in the Manhattan project came from DRC. Before batteries, Li was used in fusion bombs as Lithium Deuteride fuel. This is why Li was designated as a strategic mineral.

Apparently a new and profitable source of CU is the charging stations. Thieves are cutting off the charging cables for the CU.

To whom it may concern to Insider News: Could you do a segment video about manufacturing EVs with and without Petroleum Materials/Products if possible? Thank you!

$300 USD a week in DRC must be like $3000 a week in the US.

Let's see the video on the cost of extracting oil. A few pictures of the oil sands in Alberta, Canada show the appalling costs.

People make it out as if coal, oil and gas just magically appears out of thin air and never impacts anyone, either when extracted or burned.

At 15:44 you state that internal combustion engine vehicles dont use any. This is false as refining oil uses cobalt as a catalyst

Notice how this channel just repeatedly says “experts agree” without saying who really said that. I hate that crap.
