I don't quite understand though. 1 electric vehicle requires A LOT of lithium, but how much gold and silver is required? It's not a lot and I've seen people melt down electronics, most electronics maybe contain $5-10 worth of gold.
Agreed, but, keep in mind that silver is used in all vehicles/batteries - not just* EVs... "Car manufacturers use up to 55 million ounces of silver per year (that's over 3 million pounds!)"
Lithium is certainly used in a higher volume per EV battery, but, it's also not considered a physical commodity that most consumers hold onto/alternative to currency.
There's also not much evidence to suggest that Li is being artificially price suppressed, unlike Silver.
