This is more of a problem that can be addressed by Company's enforcing proper corporate social responsibility programs. As with any area in demand, unfortunately, ripe to be exploited.
Sounds like blood diamonds.
Sounds like batteries might be on the list with the sweat shop clothing, high end running shoes, electronics, pretty much anything from China, Arab oil, agricultural products from the third world and blood diamonds. Man not much you can buy nowadays.
There was a pilot program to track Cobalt through all stages of mining and production that was developed using IBM and blockchain software and now it's about to go live. Companies that are using it include Ford, Volkswagen and Volvo also others that buy their batteries from LG Chem like GM. Tesla is not on this list because they don't get their Cobalt from the areas of concern. Time will tell how effective it will be but at least it still lets locals mine the metal giving them needed income and still supplying the world with a valuable resource. Not many reasons left to slow down this transition to cleaner transportation.

It's changing faster than you think. Most people would not be able to fathom how close their idea of future truly is, and how fast it will change right there, before them. It just doesn't matter anymore. Zero fear is all you need to move forward, stop holding onto the past otherwise like other things I have talked about well before they happen will take you yet again, by surprise.

If we could transition off the daily commuters that would be enormous amount of cars and trucks.
