The team used the lead particles’ isotopic signature to trace some of the lead’s origins to coal and metal ore found only in Asia. “ But the details of this transport, such as that of the lead particles’ 7,000-mile journey from the smokestacks of China to the west coast of North America, are largely unknown. —John Christensen.

Additionally, the fear of running out of battery energy without access to a charger is perpetuated by the lack of a universal charging infrastructure. In some instances, this simply results in a few hundred miles worth of range. Consumers worry about an EV's range and where they might be able to charge on commutes or longer road trips.
