There is really no scarcity of lithium in the world. If more is needed then it’s easy to just tap new supplies because it’s pretty much everywhere if you go looking.
Battery producers are more constrained by things like nickel and cobalt, but there are alternative, cheaper li-ion chemistries (such as LFP) that do without these.
