Some people have spent some time and effort to work that out. Would be interesting to know the Cobalt content, it will be higher... Obviously battery chemistry is a closely guarded secret for many producers...

"Tesla uses Panasonic's "NCR18650B" s (http://blog.evandmore.com/lets-talk-about-the-panasonic-ncr18650b/), which has a capacity of 3250 mAh and operates at around 4.2 V.
According to battery university "A 2Ah 18650 Li-ion cell has 0.6 grams of lithium content." (http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/archive/is_lithium_ion_the_ideal_battery). So, for Tesla's 3250 mAh batteries, the lithium content would be (0.6/2)*3.250 = 0.975 g Li.
Now, with an operating voltage of 4.2V, the lithium content would be:
0.975/(3.250*4.2) = 0.0714 g/Wh = 0.0714 kg/kWh.
This is for Tesla. But Chevy Volt for instance uses pouch cells, which can have a different lithium content. So, this might be the reason why you see this variation in lithium content. It depends on the model, manufacturer and also cell geometry."
"Lithium -Ion batteries do not use 'pure Lithium' , that is Lithium Metal. Lithium salts are used in Lithium-Ion cells to attain storage via development of intercalation species. To calculate the "Lithium Metal Equivalent" of a Lithium-Ion cell you can work from the coulombic value i.e. 96400 \Coulombs are derived from 7g Lithium (26.77AH) or about 3.825AH per gram of Lithium."
"
specially you Saeed! Your information was very helpfull. I looked deeper and I found in different sources that Panasonic's cells 18650 (different models with different capacity) contains about 1g of lithium. So as you wrote above. It is about 0,07-0,08 kg Li/kWh. So for Tesla S (85 kWh) about 7 kg lithium in the whole pack.
The question is what the content of lithium is in batteries used by e.g VW or Renault. For instance e-Golf has capacity of 24,2 kWh and its battery pack weighs 319 kg - 76 Wh/kg, for Tesla S (85) is about 160 Wh/kg, twice as much..."
