Tell me that BEV is the way forward after reading this article from the beeb below. Also interesting perspective (depressing) film titled Planet of the Humans on You-tube is a complete eye opener.

For the UK alone
The UK, for instance, wants all new cars to go electric from 2030. But to switch Britain's 31.5 million petrol and diesel vehicles over to a battery-electric fleet would take an estimated 207,900 tonnes of cobalt, 264,600 tonnes of lithium carbonate, 7,200 tonnes of neodymium and dysprosium, and 2,362,500 tonnes of copper.
