When we look at manufacturers in the electric vehicles market, as far as I understand it, they rely heavily on lithium batteries. Do you think using lithium is feasible in the long run? If not, which technologies do you think look the most promising? Thank you!

Hi Andrea.
Lithium batteries are continuously improving, yet many resources are necessary to produce them. Other technologies like Hydrogen in combination with a smaller battery also look promising but are not as far in their development as Lithium battery cars

So do you think we are going towards a refinement of lithium production technologies while we await for the advancement in other tech like hydrogen?
