I assume you're talking about research showing that there isn't enough extractable lithium in the ground to build 1.4B EV batteries: https://www.gtk.fi/en/research/time-to-wake-up/ https://www.gtk.fi/en/research/time-to-wake-up/ I found this unconvincing, a little like saying there isn't enough coal in Wales to power everything if all global shipping switched over to steam engines. When there's demand for a resource that wasn't there before, there tends to be new discoveries of it, new ways of mining it, and new geographical territories of interest. Similarly, sometimes the resource is replaced by a completely different substitute - we power our cars with gasoline and internal combustion engines, not coal and steam engines like we used for early locomotives. There's already promising developments for extracting lithium from seawater, where there's more than enough for every person on earth to have multiple tons of it: https://www.science.org/content/article/seawater-could-provide-nearly-unlimited-amounts-critical-battery-material https://www.science.org/content/article/seawater-could-provi...
