i dont have the answer to these questions, im not in battery manufacturing.
However it is plausible to think if input prices for batteries increase, then the battery cost would increase then this increase would continue flowing down into the car price for a consumer. And basic Economics tells us that when prices increase, demand decreases.

This is all pure speculation, who knows what will happen to EV Demand. competition by car makers may become so fierce such that they are not willing increase prices regardless of input price increases. Government subsidies may make ev cars more attractive.

all i know is, the supply deficit will be real and its good to be invested in a lithium producer when demand increases. Petrol/diesel prices are going through the roof, im sick of paying $1.80+/L to fill up my car. im looking at buying a EV for my next car and im sure im not the only one.
