The price of EV batteries is likely to rise significantly in 2022 due to the dramatic jump in the costs of the rare earth metals necessary for their manufacture.

Part of the problem is growing demand, and part is the concentration of these resources under Chinese ownership, with China giving first priority to their own EV production.
