If it still relies on mined lithium, it's some pretty bad stuff. Come to find out mining isn't super great for the environment.

Much of the lithium is mined in Australia or via salt brines in Chile.

It’s not worse environmentally than the other mined materials that go into a vehicle.

That doesn't make it a good thing.

But it does mean it isn't any worse as well. Plus lithium can be recycled.
