There is only 2g of palladium in a converter, maybe even less if we didn't have to have over regulations. Where as a battery car will have several kilograms of lithium.
You make it seem that half the car is palladium.
Also, one day that lithium will be useless when the next battery tech comes out. Trillions of tons of lithium will become useless worldwide when all cars are EV and many of it will be dumped carelessly, killing wildlife more so than petroleum ever did.
Only .1% of a lithium ion battery is lithium.
The other 99.9% is still another material that needs to be dug up and that material will become worthless too as batteries advance.
You are better off letting EVs take off naturally when battery tech leads, not a government based push of EVs and govt crush of petroleum vehicles.
Yeah and the metals that go into a combustible engine are picked from trees.
You may want to look up the subsidies oil companies receive before you talk about a government based push for EVs.
