I have written at great length about the supply chain issue for lithium and other critical minerals at Forbes.com this year. As the New York Times article linked below points out, the EV industry is headed for a supply chain train wreck of epic proportions in the next few years and the Biden Administration, despite its promised "whole of government approach" to address the issue over the summer, is essentially doing nothing. Just as it is on the issue of high gasoline prices.
Anyone who thinks EVs are going to be replacing internal-combustion vehicles in any of our lifetimes lives in a dream world.
