Most new EVs don't use cobalt. They use cobalt free LFP.

A lot of cobalt is used in the refining of petrol, diesel, etc.. as a catalyst to remove sulphur.

Not really. Cobalt is still heavily used in anything with a chip really

It's also used in metals, tools, pigments, and soaps. You going to say we shouldn't have those too? Or just come to rag on EVs even though they're not going to be a major source soon.

Didn’t say a thing about EVs either way, just pointed out that cobalt is widely used and absolutely devastating in terms of how it is extracted. Please direct your anger to someone else thank you
