Less of one doesn't meant less overall.

Lithium is incredibly abundant, we just need to scale up production if we're going to use so much.

LFP batteries are great because iron and phosphorus are also plentiful and cheap.

But if this other chemistry is less Lithium but requires platinum, well maybe thats not good.

Batteries are also very recyclable, so we need a system in place for this, and then we'll go far in terms of earth's resources.

Because both resources, even though they are plentiful, are still finite.
