It's not a good idea to conjecture and argue from total ignorance. There are commonly used battery chemistries, such as LiFePO4/graphite, that simply do not use any scarce resources.

- Tuna-Fish 5y agoOther materials are mildly better and not too scarce. Tesla is moving some of it's production to LFP, but that's probably mostly because they want to scale up production faster than nickel mining can scale.
- mastax 5y agoThey do. Everyone in China is using them. Tesla is starting to use them outside of China as well.
