"We don't produce enough lithium, cobalt or spherical graphite in North America to make even a fraction of the vehicles Mr. Musk tells us he's going to be making by 2018," he says in the Skype interview. "I've got big news for everybody watching: There are at least 20 or 25 direct-electrically powered and hybrids coming onto the market in the next five or six years.
