5. "Has anything changed since then?"

Yes, things are different for several industries negatively affected by the proliferation of EVs. Specifically, stakeholders in fuel cell, hydrogen and nuclear technology are all far more desperate than when they originally helped propagate the lies related to shortages of lithium. Even though the cited works were by someone trying to sell a battery technology (zinc air) that couldn't compete with lithium, the others were happy to help get the word out. There is/was nothing unusual about their effort, though; for example, it was very similar to that ginned up about rare earth metals.
