It seems more complicated.
From Business Insider:
"Tesla battery replacements can cost over $20,000, Tesla owners have reported. When one Canadian Tesla owner's battery died in 2023, the company told him a replacement would cost $26,000. Another owner in Scotland received a bill equivalent to $21,000 USD to replace his Tesla's battery after it got damaged by rain.
Batteries degrade at varying rates based on a number of factors, like how the EV was charged, what type of environment it was driven in, and more. Auto expert Sandy Munro previously told Business Insider that, the Tesla batteries are easily damaged and difficult to repair or even assess. Munro even said Tesla's Model Y battery has "zero repairability" following a collision."

How much Xenon is in a headlamp? Are Xenon headlamps critical or are there alternatives?
An EV needs between 20 and 140lbs of Lithium and 30lbs of Cobalt. The majority of these are mined in the Congo, often by kids, and the companies are owned by China. The US has almost no pressence in the market.
I get that it is good to get away from a handful of oil/gas companies, and that there are numerous sources of electricity.
