His chief complaint is rare earth mining and he specifically mentions Lithium. Just the other day we had a post here about geothermal energy exposing big amounts of Lithium in the sludge. I'm sure there are other factors e.g. cobalt, political issues etc. but if mining is the problem this might create the incentives.
I don't know anything about these things and I'm sure he isn't just "spitballing" like I am. But I'd love to hear from people who do know.
Also with $100+ oil the TCO difference in favor of electric is probably far more pronounced than it used to be, so the extra cost might be mute for larger customers (e.g. taxi drivers etc.).
