Well unfortunately these cars are cobalt guzzlers, to produce their batteries.  And apparently 60% of the cobalt essential for the batteries is mined in the Democratic Republic of Congo by predominantly child slave labour.

Chinese middlemen with chalk and chalkboards shrewdly negotiate prices with the masters for export to China and a few other countries.

The children suffer devastating toxic illness in addition to the regular dangers of mining.  There is no supervision or control of tailings.  The surrounding soil and waterways have become so contaminated that fish and birds cannot survive in the region. 

The toxic cobalt contamination extends to fruit, vegetable, crop, and livestock via the soil and water, gradually poisoning the larger adjacent human populations.

Where are the respected "scientists" and environmental activists to speak against this environmental disaster?   Perhaps studying the "climate change" rabbit hole that their funding has become so beholden to.
