      No need to be a smartass, I’m genuinely curious if they are importing batteries from somewhere else

      And if China, where are the mines so I can check out the environmental destruction on satellite imagery

        I mean it’s pretty common knowledge that China is the biggest rare earth metals producer in the world. It’s also well known that the batteries they produces are pretty bad for environment. And it’s also known that Chinese EVs are still better for climate change than oil. It’s all been covered many many times. Are you following any news?

          The batteries are also recyclable, which should make the equation even simpler.

        I’m genuinely curious

        No you’re not. Nobody says that unless they’re trolling.
