Preliminary analyses of fluid samples collected from a well drilled on the Rock Springs Uplift—a geological feature in southwest Wyoming—suggest that reservoir brines from a 25-square-mile area of the uplift could contain 228,000 tons of lithium. By comparison, the lithium reserves at Silver Peak, Nev.—the

Given how fast things change in this business, chances are lithium-ion batteries – which have drawbacks in terms of sustainability, energy security and cost – will be overtaken by another type of energy storage. The JMEV EV3 (Youth Edition) is a micro-EV city car and has a range of 156 miles / 260 kilometres.

Although the higher upfront costs have long been a barrier to EV adoption, major automakers like Tesla, Chevrolet, Nissan, and Hyundai are also lowering the cost of their current models. The batteries that use sodium instead of the pricey and rare lithium are the ones that are the closest to being on the market.
