Yeah, you can't have a few thousand douchebags openly running the world and treating everyone else like garbage while still allowing us the agency we have been accustomed to. It is going to be a far more prison-like lifestyle in most places for those who are allowed to live at all. A lot of control systems were really just preparation and experimentation for what is coming in the next few years.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealanders
Originally composed solely of the indigenous Māori, the ethnic makeup of the population has been dominated since the 19th century by New Zealanders of European descent, mainly of English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish ancestry, with smaller percentages of other European and Middle Eastern ancestries such as Greek, Turkish, Italian, Lebanese and other Arab, German, Dutch, Scandinavian, South Slavic and Jewish, with Western European groups predominating. Today, the ethnic makeup of the New Zealand population is undergoing a process of change, with new waves of immigration, higher birth rates and increasing interracial marriage resulting in the New Zealand population of Māori, Asian, Pasifika and multiracial descent growing at a higher rate than those of solely European descent, with such groups projected to make up a larger proportion of the population in the future.[14] New Zealand has an estimated resident population of around 5,124,100 (as of June 2022).[15] Over one million New Zealanders recorded in the 2013 New Zealand census were born overseas, and by 2021 over a quarter of New Zealanders are estimated to be foreign born.[16] Rapidly increasing ethnic groups vary from being well-established, such as Indians and Chinese, to nascent ones such as African New Zealanders.[17]

I don't think there is enough lithium and cobalt in the world to replace the current fleet of petroleum-powered vehicles with electric cars. I suppose they could come up with a new technology.
Here in Japan there is the opinion, maybe petrol can be replaced with hydrogen
You can find some information about it, link beow.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_vehicle

Progress is however slow, production of hydrogen fuel and of cars using hydrogen are not cheap at all and complicated, hydrogen is not a fuel without danger, in case of a leak it might explode. Safety is a major concern.
I have read that hydrogen is not fuel efficient, but many years ago we could have pointed out problems with battery technology. It has just been in recent years that we have seen electric lawnmowers and other appliances that can run on batteries because the technology has improved as manufacturers ride down the learning curve and make process improvements and bring costs down. That might work with hydrogen fuel cells if companies start working on them. And they would have to address safety. Gasoline is not the safest substance in the world, but manufacturers learned how to make cars that handle gasoline.
