The rockerfeller foundation withdrew from fossil fuel stocks and we're past peak oil by now.

Probably none of those factories will be built and go into production before Armageddon comes.

Quote form the article .... . Lithium-ion batteries will finish the job that solar has started, advancing the world out of the fossil fuel age.
Matthew Wright is executive director of Zero Emissions Australia, director technical sales at Efficiency Matrix and resident columnist at Climate Spectator.

It should be realized that the author of this article is obviously biased to the eventual elimination of fosil fuels as a energy source.
.
Its an article written without taken reflective consideration of just how much fossil fuels are being used today, such as train freighting , ocean freighting, air line transportation
and of course inter city transposition with cars, motorcycles and trucks, globally.
The capabilities of volume lithium mining is something else to reflect upon in keeping up with demand for use in battery manufacturing, is another question.

And how exactly will we charge these billions of batteries?

It's interesting to note that "Industry" is the sector which uses the most energy. with "Transportation" a distant second. Residential and personal use lags far behind that of industry.
Individuals are always being told to 'save energy' and switch off a lightbulb or change to the newest energy-saving thingamajiggy, when we should be looking to our 'captains of industry' to be producing smart energy (sheesh, Tesla figured it out a century ago, wake up!), and most importantly..........
STOP the mindless consumerism - that is how we shut down all the needless factories that are nothing more than cash cows for the filthy rich.
Oh, and here's a graph that shows world energy consumption by sector, first pie graph on the left.
