There is no future for Lithium in the EV and battery market due to poor range for EVs, the substantial fire risk and rising costs. CATL the major EV battery manufacturer is now replacing it by sodium whereas Toyota and others are shortly going to introduce solid state batteries based on other metals. The major shortages are going to be in the rare earths, copper and aluminum required to build out national power grids to the needed three times current capacity and the reach to collect the wind power and handle local distribution for charging EVs as well as the wind power generators that will need replacing due to their low life cycle. When you work out how that is going to be achieved you can write a report that means something.
