Do any currently-non-rare metals suddenly become rare when you increase worldwide electric vehicle production 100x though?

- seanmcdirmid 9y agoNo. Rare earths actually aren't "rare", they just require a lot of processing because they are pretty diluted where they are found. So using those other metals more doesn't make them magically rare, since they are mined differently.
