Lithium, as price goes up can be obtained from other sources. Just outside of Leduc there is a Brine pilot where they take brackish water out of the ground filter out the lithium then re-inject the brine into the ground. So impact in that process is quite small.
Good environmental regulation and charging for externalities will allow the market to select the best tech.
One thing the CO2 emissions chart shows is that selecting a smaller more efflicient vehicle is still really important even for eVs.
