So what about the lack of Climate Change-causing emissions from EV cars? Can you explain how not emitting CO2 is bad for the planet?

And, this criticism of EVs seems like a lot of speculation and lacks sources. Could you provide some valid and reliable source links (e.g., peer-reviewed scientific research) about your points?

What if massive deposits of cadmium and lithium ore are discovered in the future?

I think you're the only person I've met unaware of the negative impact of electric cars. https://climate.mit.edu/ask-mit/how-much-co2-emitted-manufacturing-batteries#:~:text=For%20illustration%2C%20the%20Tesla%20Model,kg%20(16%20metric%20tons).

Renewable clean energy is the goal. But there is a reason why companies continue to try to find other options, such as hydrogen, to use instead
