EV (currently) demands lithium and ICE uses lead. Why are we not running out of lead? 1.Lead batteries my be old tech, but it means we've had time to have a recycling process that recovers almost all of the lead one the battery. 2. There is a lot more battery in an EV. My pickup has 2 large batteries, but they don't even come close to the size, weight or volume of the battery in a small EV.
