It's only greater than the supply because the demand for more wasn't there.
There's so much Lithium out there, it's not scarce at all. It just means we gotta put resources into looking for good deposits and then extracting it.
We might run into a brief shortage in the short term while things scale, or we might not. TBD.
If we can find something that works as well and it's as or more environmentally friendly to obtain, then that's great too.
