Human Trafficking and EV News =?UTF-8?B?4oCT?= Will the EV industry have to deal with the trafficking issue? =?UTF-8?B?4oCT?= trafficking and supply chain experts available i

As electric vehicles (EVs) become more popular, automotive manufacturers and the industry will increasingly have to deal with one issue that until now was one faced by consumer goods companies, cell phone firms and apparel companies – trafficking.

Some of the key ingredients of EVs are rare earth minerals like cobalt and lithium. The mining of such raw materials has been called into question by human rights groups around the world over the years.

So, as the world becomes increasingly reliant on large battery technologies, human trafficking issues will become more pressing.
