  1. 6:30 "...mining battery materials" Which would pale in comparison to the amount of the extra COPPER (expensive!) being mined to create all of that inductive charging infrastructure. Inductive charging coils ARE NOT SMALL! It'd be easier to just create the batteries. edit: Honestly, they should be using aluminium coils. There's probably minimal issues with vibration (at least compared to copper in motors) & impacts, aluminium would probably be ok in this usage. You just need 3x as much volume, but whatever, it's still lighter-weight (tho probably not an issue in roads) and WAY cheaper & more available than Copper.
