If all vehicles in the world were electric, with [[LFP batteries]]{{x|which contain lithium but no cobalt}}, how much of various minerals would it take to make all the batteries? | |||
* This many minerals would hopefully only have to be mined once, '''if''' the batteries can be [[EV battery recycling|recycled]] perfectly later. If not, we'd need to mine even more minerals than the estimates below. | |||
