there are solutions. give them a few more years and in the meantime force those exotic cars to use expensive "zero emission carbon neutral" fuel like solar powered hydrogen or other synthetic fuel, that will be hard and expensive to enforce, but if the exotic cars buyers are willing to pay for the additional cost for the devices enforcing it, and manufacturers play fair and don't leave easy backdoors to hack , and let the cars run on regular gas with a simple ECU reprogramming, that could be an acceptable compromise. cheap cars could use it too but it would be cost prohibitive. hopefully electric performance and cost means most buyers-at least those who plan to daily drive those cars-will chose electric, and supercars brands that fully commit to electric will have the technological edge in the future.

@missourimongoose7643 that is a big concern, but would stopping buying those metals improve the life of the people who work there ? unfortunately there is probably no easy solution those places who lack any kind of public service, justice, education, democracy, with crumbling economy, corruption, inflation... it takes years to help them rebuild their future. but you're right that not feeding this vicious circle by not blindly feeding those systems with money is an important part.

@gjs9871 biodiesel does not have a lower carbon footprint if you need to cut millions of acres of forest to produce it. plus you need to transport it too. burning things at the rate we are doing it is not renewable. recycling takes energy but it works if this energy comes From renewables too. by the way there are hundreds of types of batteries / capacitors that are being developed, and that have different ecological impact. right now only a few are economically viable and mass produced, but it will change in the next years/decades.

@hugolundinlundin8033 hydrogen production/compression/cooling/storage and transport is not efficient, 35% at lost before even counting transport, or if you use fossil energy to create it, it defeats the purpose. so for renewable hydrogen you also need to produce a lot more energy, meaning much more power plants, even if they are renewable. it also makes it much less likely to produce your own hydrogen locally, compress it, than having simple solar panels feeding energy into you car & the grid.

all-ev sales doesn't mean all-ev on the roads..it gives plenty of time for people who buy used cars and for EV prices to come down. even if it means slightly more expensive cars at purchase, the overall running cost will still be cheaper. let's hope it won't mean cars rushed to production and reduction in quality

@brianm.595 it's not really a problem if people who put driving a V12 above everything can't do road trips with their cars because they don't find hydrogen pumps anywhere. just put hydrogen stations at the tracks, one in Monaco, and let them pay whatever price is needed to have their own hydrogen solar powered generator that will give them 10 miles worth of hydrogen / day. although synthetic liquid) fuel seem more practical, practicality is not really a factor here.
