Investigative
February 21, 2020
An investigative and well-sourced look at a seemingly burgeoning difficulty in the referenced industry. Yeoman's service by the Author in providing scads of information while keeping the story moving along informatively. Unpedantically well-written with excellent expository quotes and commentary. The links included are helpful, provide valuable context, and are a welcome addition to the piece. A decidedly worthwhile read by every measure. Four stars!

Well sourced, well written and very thought provoking. As an EV owner I really think that I am doing my (small) part in making some kind of positive impact to the world by choosing to drive EV, and yet just like coal, the production of batteries has its own controversy that only decades of use and experimentation will show the full effect. Loved the article. Great job to the author

This is a great article packed with all the context readers need to understand the EV market and the limitations of Cobalt for EV batteries. it's written in a balanced way, expressing the downsides of a cobalt shortage and how it relates to the race for lithium, while also highlighting some optimistic innovations in EV batteries that don't require lithium at all. everyone should read this piece.
