New data: no shortage of lithium in the world for a 100% WWS transition.
USGS says known world lithium resources increased by 30% in one year, from 115.1 in 2024 to 150 million tons in 2025.
That is enough for 19 billion battery-electric cars (there are 1.5 billion cars and trucks in the world today).
U.S. now has the largest lithium resource, 20% (30 million tons) of the world total
