Electrical Vehicles - Powered with Blood Batteries

EVs run on dirty energy, on blood batteries and this is not a climate solution. This is human rights abuse and the two cannot co-exist. A climate solution should not be at the expense of human life. Long story short, electric vehicles have a long way to go before they can claim to be clean.
In today’s world, China is leaking blood cobalt into the supply chain for electric vehicles. Chinese companies are purchasing cobalt from children in an effort to encourage them to engage in the trade in blood batteries.
About 40 per cent of Huayou’s cobalt comes from the DRC. In 2016, the Chinese company was identified by a non-governmental organization as a child labor benefactor. Huayou promised to clean up its act, but nothing changed on the ground.
In China’s large-scale industry, workers are abused, discriminated against, beaten and forced to work without contracts and adequate rations. If a worker dies, the Chinese keep the corpse hidden and bribe the family to keep quiet.
It is your electric vehicle that is killing people even before it reaches the road. Did you sign up for this?
The world’s largest automakers are complicit in these crimes, including Tesla, Volvo, Renault, Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen, who all source cobalt from Chinese mines in the DRC. While they may claim to have a zero-tolerance policy on child labor, they are also aware that there is no way to map their entire supply chains.
