We don’t use rare earths in batteries. All the big manufacturers are moving from using nickel and cobalt to cheaper materials. There is tons of lithium on earth, that won’t be an issue, especially once we start recycling the batteries as well.

Electric motors often use some rare earths, but manufacturers are also reducing or eliminating those.

We will make the transition. People will not simply curtail their consumption of transportation. The ICE has no future.
