Lithium supply may soon exceed demand for use in EV batteries, potentially bringing price parity with internal-combustion vehicles later this decade, according to a new study from the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT). New emissions rules proposed by the EPA are expected to boost EV sales to 67% of total U.S. new-car sales by 2032, but based on anticipated lithium mining and refining capacity, there should still be a large surplus by that year, the study found. And that’s with EPA’s current proposal. The Biden administration is reportedly seeking to allow weaker emissions standards that might change the trajectory,…

This year, Tesla’s Supercharger network of DC fast chargers will open up to cater to just about every EV out there, and Ford owners will be the first non-Tesla drivers to take advantage of what is widely seen as the country’s best fast-charging network. That’s because Ford was the first to strike a deal with Tesla to get access to the 22,000+ Supercharger stalls in North America. But for Ford EVs to actually charge at Tesla’s DC fast chargers, owners need an adapter because Tesla uses the NACS port and Ford has been using the CCS1 connection. Get Fully Charged…
