About the talk
• Ending UK sales of new vehicles running on diesel and petrol by 2035 will massively increase demand for lithium, cobalt and nickel used to manufacture electric vehicle batteries
• To satisfy demand for EVs, in 2035 global demand is likely to be around 450 kt cobalt, 2,500kt LCE, and 2,800kt nickel, under a projection of 3.9 TWh of global EV battery production.
• Global production of lithium cobalt will need to increase by 5 times and 3 times respectively between 2018 and 2035
• Global markets for raw materials should be able to deliver the demand.
• But action is needed now to iron out likely bottlenecks in supply chains.
