At current rates all the lithium required for battery production in China can be obtained by 2040 just from recycling old batteries with other materials followed closely behind.
Many grid operators have specific off peak pricing to encourage people to use electricity at those hours. You could set your electric car to charge at those hours to reduce the price you have to pay for electricity.
In fact certain energy providers have used the V2L capability built into many electric cars to balance the grid. Which in certain scenarios you could even get paid by your grid operator for your services.
Also gird operators already use dedicated batteries to balance the load from renewables so its not like batteries will not be produced.
Hydrogen vehicles for the same performance will require basically the same electric motors as a battery electric car.
Those sure are a bunch of pretty theories, but I think reality will not be kind to them. You can reject what I’m saying, that’s your prerogative, but remember when you see the consequences of the current approach, you won’t have the excuse that you didn’t know any better.
