It’s important to remember that prior to the crash, lithium had enjoyed a meteoric rise with prices doubling since the beginning of 2016 and nearly quadrupling over the past decade. That’s certainly a massive production ramp-up considering that global production in 2017 totaled just over 200kt. dollar makes it all the more remarkable.

A combination of high fuel costs, concerns about petroleum availability and air quality issues related to fossil fuel-based vehicles are driving interest in electric vehicles. The majority of known lithium reserves are located in China, Chile, Argentina and Australia. This action by China highlights the risks of global dependence.
