in case anyone fears lithium being superseded, based on year 12 chemistry

The push for efficiency is real; instigated by governments or not, the electric vehicle sector has already been jump-started. Stricter emissions regulations is a trend that will not taper, that is something we can be certain of. In order to combat this, the MOST EFFICIENT approach to transporting a body of mass from point A to B would be through the expenditure of STORED ENERGY. An energy production factory sitting in the front half of each vehicle is not an efficient approach. The only form of stored energy known to us right now is Electricity.

Understandably, the EV market won't boom based on the hope that the population will grow an appreciation for the environment. Sentiment WILL change drastically however when financial benefits exist. In all fairness, a majority of the vehicles on the road are used primarily for commuting and general utility works. Why would the average joe run a Toyota Corolla on $60 fill-up per 500km when an EV alternative could run for 78% less (when the time inevitably comes where the initial capital for the car is comparable).

Batteries run off a chemical reaction Called "oxidation-reduction" reaction or redux reaction for short. This reaction is formed based off two "half reactions" that can be standardised and compared to investigate Standard Reduction Potentials or the voltage potential output. The greater the voltage potential, the greater the energy release. Standard reduction potential is not a new concept and this information is known (unless a new element is discovered in the periodic table). Looking through the reduction potentials, Lithium is the highest known output sitting at around +3v in an acidic aqueous Solution at 25C. In addition to this, it is a solid at room and battery operating temperature and is light (big plus). They can come up with Solid state, graphene batteries etc. Lithium will always be a big player in redox reactions for energy storage purposes.

BTW: Fossil Fuels (all of them) are "Stored Energy" - just say'n... They all use redox reactions to release their energy.
