Cobalt and Manganese are plentiful, but the incentivisation of EV products to replace traditional vehicles means there will be a deficit of lithium as early as 2025-2030. There is expected to be enough for about 70-85 years worth of lithium at current demand. These EV will require a replacement battery at the 10-15yr mark. It is expected that demand will outstrip supply.
EV's also use more metals than conventional internal combustion vehicles, not accounting for steel.
I actually hate that condescending fuck. Even when he says something I agree with. fuckin especially when he says what I agree with. Fuck that guy dead. He's a cunt.

kinda funny he legitimized the whole thing at the end by implying we're not gonna get more sustainable batteries if there is no EV demand right now
