Silverboy..you can barely spell dog correct????and you are telling me that lithium and graphite is not abundant??????go back to school you fool....learn to write properly and get educated. The cathode of the battery is nickel,cobalt,aluminum....the anode is graphite and its more widely used than lithium in these batteries by 40 times!!!!!! EV` makers are making cars with 500-600 range currently and I am predicting EV prices will drop with government incentives and technology improving in batteries. I find some of the posts on this bullboard not very informed....lol
