Lithium-ion batteries have higher voltage than other types of batteries, meaning they can store more energy and discharge more power for high-energy uses like driving a car at high speeds or providing emergency backup power. Charging and recharging a battery wears it out, but lithium-ion batteries are also long-lasting. Today''s EV batteries can be recharged at …
Citi said it remained “very bearish” on lithium in the near term given prices were in freefall, and recommended that clients continue to short the battery material. The broker suggested in April that investors and producers take a short position in the August CME lithium hydroxide contract, which has gained 19 per cent to date.
First, lithium batteries are prone to fires. Second, mining and refining are very dirty and energy-intensive, which means that ensuring a stable supply is challenging, and that many countries with large reserves (such as Chile) regulate mining heavily. From another recent WSJ article:
Lithium-ion battery fires, which are difficult to extinguish with conventional measures, have become common around the world. In other words, increasing demand for EVs and other batteries will not only drive increased lithium supplies.
At most, lithium can remain one among several possible battery materials. It seems almost impossible for lithium to retain its prominence if EV demand explodes as much as the market expects. Another potential solution to the shortage - and one which companies are already actively exploring - is recycling.
The current price of the key battery ingredient is “concerning” and investors shouldn’t put money into lithium facilities at these market levels, Eric Norris, president of energy storage at Albemarle, warned at an industry conference in the US.
Chinese EV sales and battery output have continued to rise, but a phase-out of subsidies and supply chain normalisation have weighed on the pace of growth and as a result, Chinese lithium battery demand volume growth has slowed down materially.

Rien que pour cette question de masse, il présente un grand avantage par rapport à d''autres éléments. Les batteries lithium-ion ont également une densité énergétique plus élevée que les autres types de batteries, ce qui permet de fabriquer des batteries plus petites (et plus légères). De plus, elles se rechargent assez rapidement.
