    with the rise in popularity of electric vehicles now they are in shorter supply.

    This doesn’t make much sense at first glance, because the battery in an electric vehicle uses completely different technology and chemistry compared to a classic car battery (lithium-ion Vs lead-acid).

        Sure but that wouldn’t increase demand for those separate batteries regardless of the technology.

        Unless there are a lot more cars on the road or EVs consume them faster for some reason.
