If we are using lithium batteries for the cars, where will the grid batteries come from? With current known sources of lithium ore we have a 165 year supply at 2018 production rates. If we multiply demand 20 fold for cars and another 20 fold for electrical storage, we will run out long before we get there. We need to invent another technology to make that happen.
My guess for intersection is 30 years at the soonest, and only if we invent a new battery tech tomorrow.
