It certainly isn't a very critical piece.

Interesting. Can you cite some specific carbon emission numbers, and maybe provide a source? Also, semi-rhetorical question: when will we see NiMH batteries in EVs? My understanding is that the Cobasys Cripple expired in 2018. Popular media take it as given that EVs require lithium, and it just isn't so.
