There are other battery technologies that don’t use lithium.
There are other electricity storage and production technologies other than batteries.

Just like TVs and those who dismissed CRT alternatives (”you’re not seriously suggesting putting six million lights on glass, operated at 240 times per second are you? That’s absurd!”).

There are other battery technologies that don’t use lithium. There are other electricity storage and production technologies other than batteries.

And which one of those provides an economical energy storage for vehicles compared to lithium?

To quote Professor K.M. Abraham, materials science, Northeastern University:

“We are reaching the limit of what a good battery material can do. Going beyond what we have now is taking a new understanding of Chemistry, Materials Science; people are working all over the world on it, but there is nothing on the horizon.”

Perhaps prof. Abraham needs to acquire your knowledge?
