Electric vehicles

[Nick Salmon]

I am no expert but I believe electric vehicles utilising batteries are a transient technology. The availability of the rare earth minerals needed for the batteries is already stretched and may well prove unsustainable in the long term. And don't get me started on the conditions of child labourers mining cobalt in place like the DRC. In a very few decades alternative technologies such as hydrogen power will make the current crop of electric vehicles look as ancient as a steam engine.
