Generally agreeCOVID vaccines had the backing of virtually unlimited resources with resources actually already in place due to Ebola/Bird flu - the industruy was actually prepared for vaccine production as a case of when not if even though no one saw COVID coming and its impact.
I own an EV and even I admit the environmental 'benefits' are marginal at best, governments see the 'green' push for EVs been related to jobs/taxes as much as anything else. The numbers have to balance, and mass producing something like a Graphene cell is going to cost a whole shed load of £££££ with no guarantee of success. Especially when Lithium ion is already good enough.
but Lithium is not really good enough - it is OK but it is heavy, not very 'energy dense' (although better than previous stuff) and the cells degrade over time
A new type of cell that is lighter, can be charged faster and degrades far slower would be a massive gain
