..."Toyota is one of the few OEM's that are directly invested into a producing lithium company in AKE. They might be behind the 8 ball initially - however that's a pretty big leg up on the competition - ie. guaranteed supply in the future."

Yes, although some who are perhaps a little less generous, in their views of Toyota's, ..'50cents ..strategic-bet each-way' bearing in mind Akio Toyoda's already well documented, and lengthy, open hostility, to the rapid global transition to BEVs, could, also take the view that their, ..'strategic move' in buying themselves an entry point into Argentine Brine, and ..then, ..sitting on their hands, was simply a cynical attempt by Toyoda to ..lock up, / lock away, ..supply, coming from one of the world's most promising, and ..production-ready, Lithium Brine resources...!

Apologies for this largely AKE centric discussion, on the PLS Forum..!
