Not sure where you found that statistic from, probably the same source that told you climate change is all a hoax?
As it goes cobalt is being phased out of battery packs and the next generation will be cobalt free. Thanks to the research done by the likes of Tesla there is also a good chance that this technology will filter down to the biggest user of cobalt with is consumer electronics so hopefully in a few years the phone in your pocket will also contain no cobalt.
Don't also overlook the biggest benefit of EV's which is local pollution. Think about how much nicer our city centers will be without the noise and pollution from ICE cars.
Finally for those of us that want to continue running dino juice cars as a hobby we're more likely to be able to do so if people naturally move to EV's which means less chance of the government legislating to remove ICE cars altogether.
