Electric vehicles use lithium-ion batteries with small amounts of nickel, manganese and cobalt. These metals determine the properties of the batteries, such as how much energy they can store, how long they last, and how quickly they charge. The production of these metals is associated with environmental and humanitarian issues, such as mining pollution and human rights violations. #ElectricVehicles #LithiumIonBatteries #MetalMining
