That’s not true.
The only non-ubiquitous element in modern lithium-ion batteries is lithium. It takes 10 kg of lithium to build one typical electric car. Just the known reserves of three South American countries, Chile, Argentina and Bolivia, add up to 10 to 15 million tons. Extraction can be scaled up very quickly if only there was sufficient demand.
