Is Bolivia going to become the next Saudi Arabia? Think cars! Now, think energy efficient cars, cars running on electrical power, batteries. What are most modern battery technologies based on? Lithium.
40% of world's knows resources of lithium are found in the mountains of Bolivia. With smart approach, this poorest country of South America, has the potential of becoming a prosperous place. Poverty rate is very high and big parts of the country are largely undeveloped. The biggest challenge for the government there will be to process the resource into the final product using high skilled labor and technology, rather than export raw material and let others profit on the added value. Will our future cars be running on batteries that were Made in Bolivia?
