If all vehicles in the world were electric, with LFP batteries(...)( 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 recycled perfectly later. If not, we'd need to mine even more minerals than the estimates below.

Quick estimate

This section has not been filled in yet.  discussionGotta factor in both the passenger vehicles and the commercial vehicles - total battery capacity. TODO: figure out a reasonable way to estimate this
