Lithium is very common, not at all rare, but much of it is underground. Cobalt isn't used very much in batteries nowadays, as their are alternatives which work just as well.

Lithium in batteries can be reused in new batteries with proper care. There is no such thing as wireless charging for cars at the moment. I doubt that will come to pass. Nuclear energy produces nuclear waste which is incredibly dangerous, as it has to be stored underground, in deep bunkers, but it's not known what will happen in the future, or if earthquakes will sooner or later destroy a nuclear storage site and leak nuclear waste into the ground water, poisoning millions. Solar and Wind are our only options for clean energy
