Not sure on the conversion but I paid $1.95 a gallon .04 cents lower than last week. Still getting over 20 miles a gallon in my Nissan Altima.

If you refuse to because of mining practices in some 3rd world country, you're too stupid to fix that completely separate problem.
Can't-servatives are known to be unable to solve two things at once or even consider it.

Don't go falling for the people who refuse to see change in the worlds' chicken little routine. For example, most of the metals that go into EVs are mined in Australia, or South America.

Lithium deposits



Cobalt deposits



Nickel deposits



Graphite deposits

China and the United States appear to be the largest suppliers of lithium-ion battery cellsin the future, with competition from Japan and South Korea.54Moreover, since cells are more easily imported/exported longer distances, theyare likely to continue to be internationally traded. Conversely, due to the highercost of transporting battery packs,international trade in EV battery packs is likely to remain low compared to trade in battery cells.Vehicle manufacturers’ decisions about where to produce EVs (and in what quantities) are likely to be the primary determinants in lithium-ion battery module and pack production locations.Due mostly to the lack of more detailedinternational trade data for lithium-ion batteries, it ischallengingto separate out information from components of the battery supply chain. However, based on the authors’ estimates, the United States and Japan appear to providethe most value-addedto lithium-ion batteries used in EVssold in the United States. Much of the estimated U.S. value comes from pack assembly. Based on this research, due to China’shighlevel of sales of domesticallyproduced EVswith domestically produced batteries and cells, Chinalikely accounts forthe vast majority of the valueadded from lithium-ion batteries in Chinese EVsalesand is likely the world leader in valueadded for EVbatteries.

The $$ conversion is meaningless to people that live where they buy it. Don't mean squat if you make $20 hr here or there.
Your Altims uses 11.8L/100Km in real world numbers. So did my 57 Chev. Sucks big time. My Wrangler gets 11.4 and I'm ready to unload it.

Not that that matters to people who post and believe pictures of pumpstations like they mine the oil sands in straw hats, tennis shoes with a garden trowel and a blurry alkali lake that's looked the same since 1837 when they discovered it.
I mean obviously if you can't counter-argue taxing $100,000 cars a bit more, you have to argue about something else.
As I said, I get 20 mpg US in a 2014 Jeep, same as my 57 Chev. That's the progress these people like. None whatsoever.

Nah and I got it 2 1/2 years ago. It is a good car.

Or compliment. Depends on who you hang with.

Thing is I don't let who is in commercials sway my buying decisions. If you listen to the commercial their new cars have some nice features.

When I go for a new car I will seriously look into a Nissan.

Instead of being woke I prefer to at least attempt to make a decision that is best for me and my needs.

I did some thinking on the extra Tax for high priced Tesla's. My conclusion is yep makes sense. Governments, city, county, state, federal, all make money off of gas tax. Tesla's don't use gas and thus cut into tax revenue.

Just think if the world goes green all the Tax revenue the Gov. loses. They are going to tax us in other ways and this will be just one of them.

Like I said, if you're paying $1.40/L and simply refuse to get an EV to go30Kms to work cuz you;re a stubborn ass, then you;re a stubborn ass.

Ohhhh so close, but guess what Sport-o? I don't own any car anymore. I'm not so fucking special and self-entitled where I'm too good for public transportation. It's funny, leftards keep insisting that no one in a city needs guns. By that exact same token, nobody living in a city needs a car either.
