So far, the best [[electric vehicles|EVs]] seem to come at a high environmental cost - especially rare minerals{{x|such as cobalt}} in the batteries. They also are quite expensive.

What if people were willing to drive cheaper EVs with less battery capacity{{x|either due to using batteries with less rare metal content, and/or just ''smaller'' batteries}} and thus less range?

Clearly this doesn't cover '''all''' use-cases. Road trips would still need longer-range vehicles. But for common suburban commutes{{x|then again, maybe it's better to phase these out via [[walkability]]}}, maybe it would be enough?
