According to estimates, the transition to electric vehicles would necessitate a rise in the supply of certain metals, which must first be mined, with recycling eventually meeting some of the demand.
It is anticipated that converting petrol vehicles to electric would require significant quantities of cobalt, lithium carbonate, neodymium and dysprosium, as well as copper, only in the UK. Due to the enormous expansion in mining operations, a variety of major concerns are brought about, ranging from supply chain issues to a negative influence on the climate and ecology.
Norway has the largest global BEV market share, mostly due to its generous incentives for promoting BEV ownership and purchase. Norway has a BEV incentive programme that frequently makes buying a BEV comparable to or even less expensive than buying an ICE vehicle.
Incentives that increase the cost-effectiveness and convenience of BEVs in daily use are available in addition to those that lower the purchase price. Norway has seen a clear increase in BEV sales thanks to incentive schemes, which is an excellent example for other nations looking to follow in its footsteps.
China is leading the search as prices rise in this new gold rush. However, lithium is what everyone is actually seeking for, not gold. Many believe that the rare metal is crucial to the development of electric vehicles and, more broadly, the fight against climate change.
China is searching the globe for new supplies of the metal, including on the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau and elsewhere, but increasingly in Africa, even though more than half of the world’s lithium deposits are in South America and Australia.
BYD, a Chinese firm with its headquarters in Shenzen, is in negotiations to purchase six additional lithium mines in unnamed African nations.
The Africa EV Chemicals Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2027.
