Wrong. It’s China, ironically a country that doesn’t care about climate.
While this may have been true 10 years ago, you may want to use more updated sources.
They are leading in renewable energy investment and have planted the most trees in the world by far since then.
Every country that goes through industrialization will produce high amounts of pollution. It wasn't that long ago that the US was on top, and before that, the UK.
And on a per capita basis, we pollute twice as much as China does TODAY.
Clicked into and read that report - it may be "peer reviewed" but it is very weak. Basically talks about the "annoyance" caused by the sound. I guess the same could be said of those living close to airports, train tracks, etc. Lots of "ifs" and no clear guidance on distance...lots of supposition. Basically pretty wackadoodle - by all means, if you dont want to live close to something annoying, then don't. Most of these are "sited" away from population centers. In my area, you get paid to have one on your farm acreage - so yes, it's a choice.
So long as replacement HV batteries remain priced between $3,000 and $5,000 I see no problems.
That's the price for a used battery, not a new EV battery, which cost $10,000 - $15,000.
EV batteries composition, design, shape and functionality change very quickly between manufacturers, and even between years of that same manufacturer's models. These aren't 12 vdc Die Hard batteries, which all function the exact same now as they did 40 years ago.
When your EV is five or ten years old, the odds are very unlikely that a brand new battery of your exact year, make and model will be sitting on a shelf, waiting to be let go for penny's on the dollar. It's not like there is an incentive for manufacturers to built thousands of extra $10,000 - $15,000 battery packs and stick them up on a shelf, just in case someone who bought John Smith's used car in Rudd, Iowa, needs a new battery ten years from now.

Hows the resale value of these expensive electric cars?

As I said. Brand new replacement HV batteries for my hybrid run between $3,000 and $5,000 installed at the dealership.
