Will EV's become part of the market? Of course, but they are still not applicable in some markets. The manufacturers also have no control over the aging grid infrastructure which would have to be dramatically improved to support EV's as a significant percentage of the cars on the road.

True. John Q Public has no idea as to the amount of electric infrastructure improvement needed to go green. And the energy generation can't be all windmills and solar panels. Gonna have to throw in some nuclear reactors and still burn some natural gas.

This is likely to be really ugly if one were to snaps some pictures of the mines and the flooded mine tailings. It's a good thing we will foist this upon the countries that have lithium reserves. And when will we see the lithium equivalent of OPEC?
