I don't believe that BEV economics will improve. It could actually get worse as we are running out of material, especially copper
The quantity of metal required to make just one generation of renewable tech units to replace fossil fuels, is much larger than first thought.

Most concerning is copper as one of the flagged shortfalls. Exploration for more at required volumes will be difficult, with this seminar addressing these issues.
