I am optimistic that alternates will be found.

When are they going to start making decent ones?

Which is the most lithium-rich country in the world?
Whatever it might be, it'll become the mid-21st century Saudi Arabia.
-
Actually, Chile has the largest known reserves at 8,600,000 metric tons. There are about 17 million metric tons of known lithium reserves.
One metric ton can produce about 83 Tesla 70Kwh batteries at 12Kg per.
So we currently know of enough lithium to produce 1.4 billion electric cars under current technology.Coincidentally there are currently right around that many vehicles on the road worldwide, and expected to be 2 billion by 2050.
Lithium ain't gonna cut it and as I said earlier, optimism is not a strategy.

The pub I got my information from is the same one they cite in the article, but it does not explain the huge discrepancy between the chart I cited and the paragraph after. Maybe what I looked at was the reserves in existing mines.

But, in true TNCR fashion, you still have your head up your ass and wouldn’t know the truth if it bit you on the ass.
