lithium-based ewaste

That's propaganda. Lithium ion batteries can be well recycled. First second life as static energy storage, then broken down into materials and which are then reused. Around 98% of the materials can be recycled.

with build-int obsolescence

Batteries can be replaced. Nio makes it super easy, other manufacturers require one day at a repair garage. Overall way fewer parts suffer from degradion from use in EVs than ICE cars.

Disposable vapes put more lithium into landfills than EVs. Everyone throws their vape in the trash, nobody throws their EV battery module in the trash

Overall way fewer parts suffer from degradion from use in EVs than ICE cars.

That's only because an EV has less moving parts. And yes, there is built-in obsolescence in any modern car, ICE or otherwise.
