Unless we open the market to China or other cheap EV makers (if that happens, that means we will become a 2nd or 3rd world country then). In another word, lithium-ion battery based EV has no future to become mainstream car.
There is no way to mine lithium in U.S. The same people who support EV, Conor, TY...will be the first to jump out against lithium mining in US. Liquid lithium battery itself has a few serious problems too in term of making EVs mainstream cars. That's the rational behind my my prediction.
