Besides lithium and cobalt for the batteries driving electric vehicles, another valuable material is needed to make all the cars that need to hit the roads in order to fulfill the Biden administration's lofty EV transition goals.

However, a newly published study by Cornell and University of Michigan professors suggest that there might not be enough to go around.
