Her electric car batteries courtesy of child slave labor in the Congo, so just another day for your typical Democrat.

Something else I never see from those who promote EVgasms at every opportunity confront. What happens when the demand for rare earth metals increases 100+ times more it is now? These metals are important to EV batteries and aren’t limited to just lithium. And we depend on foreign countries for most of them. Every battery cost future calculation I see is based on current costs. What about battery replacement costs 8+ years from now when replacement costs could be 10 times what they are now?
