That payback figure, however, assumes that every EV is made with newly mined lithium, nickel and cobalt – as if all the materials will end up in a landfill at the end of a vehicle’s life. Making a battery for an electric vehicle typically requires mining hundreds of pounds of hard-to-extract minerals.
