That affects everyone else. We didn't even get into the whole topic of just the overall economic and environmental impact, and the resources necessary to build these electric cars.

We are talking about lead, we are talking about lithium, we are talking about the things that those vehicles need. You probably know this, but if not, the places where they get sourced are not exactly economically or environmentally friendly.
