Can you explain how you get to this number of 125 Million Tons extracted to reach "circular self-sufficiency"?

Doing a quick google check that an EV battery is on average 450kg, and there are an estimate of 1.5Billion cars on earth, you already need 675 Million Tons extracted to get all these cars to become "average EVs".

You don't seem to be counting the Iron of the casing which is non-negligible?

Disclaimer: I have EVs and advocate for them, but cannot present my friends with data that seems to be hiding facts.

Thanks.
