Although the current 10-fold price spike of lithium is giving the electric vehicle market a sharp short-term shock, a study by a team from Tsinghua University indicates that it will not hinder transportation electrification in the long run. In comparison, only 40% of global oil supply clusters in the top 3 producing countries.
