While electric vehicles are widely embraced, the pressure of the great battery boom is increas-ingly being felt by communities around the world, including in Argentina, Chile and Bolivia – the so-called ‘Lithium Triangle’ countries that host three-quarters of the world’s lithium resources – and the Democratic Republic of Congo, which produces about two-thirds of the world’s cobalt.
