False on all counts.

Lithium is incredibly abundant, and besides that, battery tech is evolving to eliminate rare components like cobalt and shift to sodium and iron, which are even cheaper. Next cones solid state batteries that will be more powerful, safer, and last even longer.

Most EV owners charge at home on standard infrastructure.

Night time load (when EVs are usually charging) helps utilities and actually smooths out grid loads and electricity pricing.

I disagree and would love to read some professional articles that have evidence and reference to fact for what you are saying.

I'm in the electrical industry and we are being told the opposit.

Also charging at home becomes difficult when many park on the street.
