Lithium is not the future of batteries. As far as I know, there is no law of physics saying we won't someday have 2000Wh/kg metal-free flow batteries or something. Lithium is just what we have now, and because business and politics is incremental(I'm not exactly a fan of that trait) we can't just say "Lets build all the charging infrastructure for cars that don't exist yet, stockpile electric cars with no batteries, and switch all at once as soon as we invent the better nonlithium tech to put in them". Sometimes I wonder how much we could get done if people really did think like that though.
