88 million tons lithium supplies only 1.4 billion cars We are 8 billion people on the planet.
The amount of cars on the planet are 1,400,000,000 (that is 1.4 billion cars)
Cars have a life span of say 10 years.
Available Lithium on the planet: 88,000,000 tons
Each ton is the equivalent of: 2,204 pounds
So lithium supply is: 193,652,000,000,000 pounds
Demand per car is 62.5Kg of lithium or, 137.50 pounds
The lithium supply can 1,410,000,000 cars (1.4 billion cars)
That means that current supply of lithium covers a 10 year period is all cars on the planet went EV.
Lithium will be much more valuable that GOLD.
I think this is what Bob Wares calculated. One mega hit and we will be part of an elite oligopoly group controlling most of the lithium on the planet.
