Original Note:
~50% of Tesla (most popular EV brand)'s cars use NO cobalt at all, and the rest of their cars use ethically sourced cobalt not from war torn areas of the DRC where child labour is common. Also, these batteries can be recycled up to 95% without any child labour involved. https://electrek.co/2022/04/22/tesla-using-cobalt-free-lfp-batteries-in-half-new-cars-produced/ https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-ethical-sourcing-cobalt-mining-impact-report/ https://www.soci.org/chemistry-and-industry/cni-data/2024/1/ev-batteries-from-rarity-to-recycling-boom-in-20-years
