<<Btw, those electric motors you think will take up the current slack in copper demand are already in those vehicles. They are called "alternators".>>

Your quality of argument has become lame beyond all belief! This alternator produces only enough power to supply the needs of the accessories and the starting system(and the starting system only very short term). Are you really going to attempt to sell the point that the alternator (and I'll even include the starter for you) equal the copper of a motor required to provide the necessary electromotive force to propel the vehicle? You ever looked into the weight of any electric motor required for vehicle propulsion vs that of the largest alternator. That weight is copper!
Please site for me the automobile that uses an alternator that produces enough watts to provide the electromotive force to propel a vehicle.

Are you mentally challenged in mathematics or logic.
