Fortunately lithium is abundant and there's little prospect of being able to run out of it. It's quite possible that fuel cells will replace traction batteries anyway, and with hydrogen from nuclear generation or nuclear based chemical conversion, it's unlikely lithium supplies could ever be a problem.
