In three short years, the expected boom in electric vehicle production will require mining companies to triple their production of lithium; in eight years, they will have to double lithium production again. Almost no one thinks that’s possible in so little time, leading to forecasts of critical shortages of both lithium and EVs this entire decade.

At the front lines of this battle is U.S.-based Albemarle, the world’s largest lithium miner, so for the next Live Chat With The Electric, we are excited to welcome Eric Norris, Albemarle’s President of Lithium.
