The answer to the question is lithium, and the bad news for the world is that it potentially has nowhere near enough of it to power all the electric vehicle (EV) batteries it wants – and needs. Lithium is a non-ferrous metal known as “white gold”, and is one of the key components in EV batteries, alongside nickel and cobalt.
Though rare, battery fires are also a legitimate concern. “Today's lithium-ion batteries are vastly more safe than those a generation ago,” says Chiang, with fewer than one in a million battery cells and less than 0.1% of battery packs failing. “Still, when there is a safety event, the results can be dramatic.”
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are key to EV performance, and ongoing advances are enhancing their durability and adaptability to variations in temperature, voltage, and other internal parameters. This review aims to support researchers and academics by providing a deeper understanding of the environmental and health impact of EVs.
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.
(Lead-acid batteries, by comparison, cost about the same per kilowatt-hour, but their lifespan is much shorter, making them less cost-effective per unit of energy delivered.) 2 Lithium mining can also have impacts for the environment and mining communities. And recycling lithium-ion batteries is complex, and in some cases creates hazardous waste. 3
While the world does have enough lithium to power the electric vehicle revolution, it’s less a question of quantity, and more a question of accessibility. Earth has approximately 88 million tonnes of lithium, but only one-quarter is economically viable to mine as reserves.
