Currently, electric cars rely on lithium and cobalt batteries to run, which, whilst undoubtedly better for the environment than carbon, aren’t entirely clean. Because lithium cathodes degrade over time, they can’t simply be placed into new batteries. We ideally need to shift to batteries that use less cobalt, or none at all.
