Yes unfortunately, though the cobalt that is mined to help batteries hold on to more charge and provide longer ranges of travel without charging as much in EV’s is practically mined via slave labor in the Congo. Horrible conditions those poor people have to suffer through. So an increase in electric vehicle for us only keeps the slave labor mining business going.

LFP batteries don't use cobalt. They're lower-range, sure, but longer range will need a new battery tech anyway (and several are in the lab).
