A few reasons: Battery materials are very valuable, and a lot of money is invested into pulling those metals out of the ground. After electric car batteries aren't very good at moving a car anymore, they can be taken and used for other applications, such as for the power grid, potentially for several years.

Even without extreme weather events, the power grid needs love. The grid was largely built in the 1950s and 1960s with a 35- to 80-year life expectancy , meaning much of it should have been retired and replaced by now. As people invest in new AC systems, they simply must be all-electric. Climate crisis = not fun.

Firstly, most of that EV adoption worldwide is expected to take place in industrialised and emerging economies, meaning the rest of the developing world is currently expected to remain reliant on polluting vehicles through to 2040 and beyond. Investments and public policy should therefore reflect that - and urgently.

We know Elon Musk’s Tesla vehicles create less pollution out of the tailpipe, but what about those batteries? Over the years, there have been accusations of poor treatment of the Indigenous population surrounding a lithium mine in Argentina, a dirty source of graphite from China and cobalt mined under harsh conditions.
