    Lithium prices have crashed by about 80% from last year’s peak but… Tesla battery packs only contain 5 kg of lithium so the potential saving are not great.

    Cheaper EVs come from a small lithium ion battery pack for dealing with acceleration and on ramps and a bigger sodium ion pack for cheap range and hyper fast charging.
