It does not matter whether the shortage of Lithium is real or not. The reason for the push towards EVs is so they can ban ICE cars. Something that they wouldn't be able to do (without a fight) if they just came out and banned them.
They are going to ban ICE cars, make it a crime to be in possession of one even, then we will "find out" that mass EV ownership is not viable. They will be rationed at first, then restricted to special permit holders. If you ever criticise the government.... no permit for you.
Now you're trapped in your designated zone, you have no transport, no means of moving elsewhere and even if you did, your digital ID won't let you purchase anything, even food, outside of your permitted zone.
^ THIS!
Exactly. Despots never admit their plans to us because they are at war with us. Our problem is we fall prey to their lies and illusions because we want to believe. The tyrants put lipstick on a pig and we want to believe the illusion because we're not willing to call them out on their lies.
EVs are actually a parlor trick, an illusion. Oh, the idea is very cool and compelling. Musk implemented a very nice looking pig, but it's still a pig. Forget it really runs on fossil fuels. Forget the range is very limited. Forget you have to wait in long lines to charge them. Forget the replacement batteries are half the price of the car. Forget insurance companies total the car if the battery pack gets scratched. Forget the electric grid has no capacity to charge your vehicle all the time. Behold the beautiful virtue signaling you can do with your friends. Behold the tyrants can disable your vehicle with the push of a button if you try to drive out of your 15 minute city.
Listen to the tyrants, electric is green.
