Tom, do you purposely look for mistakes to post? Most people here now

Lithium is not a rare earth metal. Look it up!

EV battery fires are about 1/20th as common as I.C. engine car fires, so 
it's not a serious issue. But Teslas have caught fire. See

If my EV got subsidies, it would have had to be from the Korean government.

You're off by a factor of four. I recently posted evidence.
