Price of Lithium and Nickel has surged with demand, thanks to electric cars

[Votto]

The cost of lithium — a metal used to make electric car batteries — is up nearly 500% since last year: 'Supply is simply nowhere near enough to feed this demand surge' | Blaze Media

The race to a low-carbon future via electric vehicles already comes with a hefty price tag. But that price tag may enlarge even more in the coming months if the skyrocketing cost of lithium serves as any indication.What are the details?The cost of lithium carbonate — a key ingredient used in the...

Is there enough lithium and nickel to go round?

And yes, Russia has one of the world's biggest deposits.

Yay.

Are the assholes in power DELIBERATELY trying to make us reliant on Russia for energy?

Seriously?

It would appear, but my guess is they don't even think about such things

They probably are just virtue signaling with electric cars as they thrown trillions towards something they really don't care about working properly.

It's kind of like Obamacare. They spend all their time passing it, then when it passes their website to sign up does not work.

Like they were in big pharma, sanitizer companies, and mask makers.

They always have Xi money when they need it.

Papa Xi will take care of them and make sure their children get good jobs abroad like Hunter.

Why buy an electric car when you can just ride a train to Hawaii?

If thy keep it up with those stupid electric cars, there isn't going to be enough lithium in this world to treat all those bi-polar manic/depressive people or enough nickel to make change for a dollar.

I'm channeling my inner Hank Johnson.

This has to be some kind of a globalist NWO plot.

They use only 25% nickel in nickels.

To conserve Lithium cars will simply have to get smaller, just like our houses to heat and cool need to get smaller

FYI, the use only 15% of dimes in dimes.

I bought a replacement battery for my car on Sunday, and it was $150. JUST FOR A REGULAR CAR BATTERY.

WTF?!

 

[JWBooth]

Except for the copper/silver/manganese coins 1942-1945, they have always been 75% copper and 25% nickel
Melt value at the moment $.086.

I'm thinking that with the new electric cars the price to replace batteries will be comparable to buying a brand new PC every 3 or so years.

Of course, in colder climates it may be every 2 years.

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

The Libtards didn't mean EVERYONE can have an electric car. Those who aren't privileged enough will have to ride the government train.

It had been since 7/17. My old battery lasted a while. I do not recall what I paid for it in the summer of 2017, but there is not a chance in hell it was $150.

It's that supply demand conspiracy lol...Sorry cons are always late on progress lol...Now how is the Blaze lying this time?

Right. Then more electric cars would mean even fewer nickels.
