Sodium-sulfur batteries would be even better.

"The team at Drexel are already looking into using this breakthrough to make sodium-sulfur batteries. By removing the need for lithium, they can make batteries even more eco-friendly and eliminate a massive supply chain bottleneck, ensuring EV adoption can continue at the breakneck speeds carmakers are planning for."

It takes 100,000 gallons of H2O to extract one ton of Lithium, leaving behind toxic brine ponds and depleting the water table.

If you ever are near Tonopah or Goldfield Nevada, take a side tour to Silver Peak to see Lithium extraction areas.
