This is like any other product supply situation. If big business decides that there's money to be made in EVs, they'll solve any supply problems that arise. We may not think that their solutions are ethical and/or sustainable, but they'll find them. If they decide that there's not enough money in EVs, they'll use the alleged supply problems as excuses to not bother. Activist governments can put their thumbs on the scale, pro-EV or anti-EV. Most western EU nations are pushing for EVs, or at least are neutral. Chinese politics notwithstanding, China's government is also promoting EVs. Right now the US government, and some of the states', are slightly pro-EV. I don't expect the federal position to last beyond the next few years, however. .
