2025-02-11 Altilium Recovered 97% Lithium And 99% Of Graphite From Used Batteries
As more used batteries are taken out of service, the recyclers will put cheaper recycled lithium and other materials back into the manufacturing of new batteries. This will reduce the need for raw materials from mining. Eventually most of the raw materials will be from recycled batteries and the mining will be greatly reduced. Meanwhile

2023-12-01 California’s Salton Sea Has Lithium To Power 375 Million EVs
The naysayers criticize that there’s not enough lithium. But they don’t know what they are talking about. The problem with the very hot brine that’s got the lithium is no one has yet figured out how to extract the lithium from it. https://electrek.co/2023/12/01/a-california-dried-up-lake-has-enough-lithium-to-power-375-million-evs/ Another article about lithium price https://www.arcamax.com/homeandleisure/automotive/s-2997652?ezine=566&lctg=7OzsSZc-x1SiBwEiTQMikJzPqvPdfr6pUASepJvYA0k&r=Fmlp
2023-09-14 Black Mass Matters! The New Black Gold
The black mass is the concentrated lithium and other metals left when lithium EV batteries are recycled into their parts. This black mass is then processed along with other raw materials to make new batteries. There are these Chicken Littles who say that EV batteries are too expensive, then contradict themselves by saying the EV

2023-08-21 Australian Mines Demand Increasing, Lithium, Copper
Australian needs to stop exporting coal and fossil fuels and start ramping up their mines to meet the demands for lithium, copper, manganese, etc. Australian Mining — Can It Power All The New EVs?
2022-04-25 Statevolt To Build Battery Plant In So Calif.
Nice, but it will take a few years. It will extract lithium from the brine of the geothermal plant at the Salton Sea. https://cleantechnica.com/2022/04/21/statevolt-plans-54-gigawatt-hour-battery-factory-in-southern-california/
2021-06-21 Australia Supplying Lithium And Nickel
Said, “Each EV has about 5000 dollars (Au?) In it.” Well, the battery pack is about a hundred dollars US per kWh or about $7500.00 per vehicle. It’s hard to believe that the raw material costs make up well over half of the cost of an EV battery pack. Then he said Denholm noted that

2021-06-04 Scientists Harvest Lithium From Seawater
Scientists have cost-effectively harvested lithium from sea water. This also produces hydrogen and chlorine and can use the leftover brine from desalination plants. It requires a lithium lanthanum titanium oxide (LLTO) membrane. Very interesting! https://electrek.co/2021/06/04/scientists-have-cost-effectively-harvested-lithium-from-seawater/ Another link https://www.electronicsonline.net.au/content/power/news/electrochemical-cell-extracts-lithium-from-sea-water-1381153360
