"EV requires three to five times more copper than petrol or diesel cars, not to mention the copper required for upgrades to the electricity grid."
We can't get there from here.

and almost 90% of an ev's materials and parts are mined, transported, smelted and built by slaves.


But lets not let that disillusion the woke crowed.

Why can't they recycle old copper

They can.
They can also out compete other industries for their share of copper.

OP is an idiot.
If OP were serious, he'd be stuffing his dumb cunt with XCU futures.

There's copper in everything.
EVs only consist of a small portion of the "everything market".
There's plenty of copper to go around.
Worst case scenario is the price of copper inflates and the EV market out competes the copper away from your mom's vibrator supplier.

There are plenty of valid criticisms against the EV industry, but people with Electric Car Derangement Syndrome need to shut the fuck up.
