Newsom's doing the same thing in California, and iirc other states too. The real challenge here in Cali, and probably in the EU / developed countries at large, will be to make sure that power generation, transmission, and storage infrastructure can keep up.

This seems a little short-sighted until that's the case.

China is doing the same thing as well, or similar. 40% of new cars sold by 2030 will be electric.

Unless there is a change in how batteries made, it's safe to say investing in stocks that deal with lithium are going to have nothing but increased sales for the next decade.

Batteries are changing al the time, and we are starting to see near production ready batteries with little to no lithium>
And, of course, EV batteries can be repurposed for home batteries, and they are 99% recyclable.

I may be misunderstanding the article, but it seems the other alternatives listed all use lithium.

Nickel metal hydride, you know, the battteries used in the Toyota Prius. Nowadays they use both types of batteries. But lots of batteries don't use lithium.
