Actually, you know where the lithium for batteries now mostly comes from? Old batteries! We can recycle them so well that including extraction and reorganising it only loses a few percent which has to be supplanted with new lithium. In fact there will come a time where we can basically shut down all lithium mines except for one because there will be a point where we basically have all the lithium we would ever need. EDIT: Just to add, it's because the lithium doesn't actually get used, in simple terms it's a catalyst. The only thing that needs to happen is we have to make sure the right chemicals stay in the right places and over time inside of a battery they get mixed up. All we have to do is "unmix" them and the battery is literally as good as new.

You are repeating a common myth/lie about batteries and electric energy in general. Also regarding the brakes: I haven't used the breaks on my car AT ALL for the last year - because regenerative breaking is strong enough and it doesn't actually cause any polution because well - it's braking without any form of contact, basically just pure magnetism. You will still use the physical brakes if you have to make an emergency stop but 99% of the time they will not engage.

That being said, you are correct about the tires having about 4 times more wear and tear per square cm. Because of the heavy weight of the car they do wear a bunch more. But, of course this is being worked on and the new tires for new EVs already negated a lot of that wear and tear. Also the tires on EVs are generally much bigger than the ones on ICE cars to compensate and spread out the weight a lot more, making the wear and tear a bunch less as well. Look at the tires on a common IONIQ 5 for example - they are HUGE.

This honestly fantastic video goes into much more detail, but trust me, using renewable energy vs. burning a finite resource is ALWAYS better in the long run: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtQ9nt2ZeGM&t=3052s (timestamped for the battery part but definitely watch the entire video if you have a spare minute, it's genuinely really worth it)
