We could do it with current tech if we expanded lithium mining and the charging networks.

  Natural resources are limited and an increased demand is going to make prices rise especially if the demand goes faster than the supply expansion.

    Ever heard about peak oil?

      Peak oil was never reached, technically speaking. Lithium may be a very different story.

        Why? Lithium is more common than oil?

    You mean like happened with oil until we moved on to newer extraction methods and newer tech, and supply started outstripping demand again? At least with lithium batteries, the waste products can be reprocessed.
