Comprehensive review on BEV present and future

The book covers a wide range of topics, including the lithium-ion battery industry, battery electric vehicles, charging networks, urban mining, battery energy storage systems, and Direct Lithium Extraction technology. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the lithium industry, as it provides a solid overview of the topic. It can be very helpful for the reader/listener before deciding on the purchase of their next electric car, home solar panel equipment, or even lithium-related company shares. And yes, does Elon Musk regret of not buying Albemarle and SQM instead of Twitter for the same $44bln?
