Great day yesterday hosted by SBH and @benchmarkmin as part of their World Tour in Cape Town. Some tough years ahead to meet demand for key #mineral inputs to #lithium ion batteries as part of the #LCET.
Sums up the supply chain issues faced by #lithiumionbattey & #ev manufacturers. #lithium

Price of lithium has gone to insane levels! Tesla might actually have to get into the mining & refining directly at scale, unless costs improve. There is no shortage of the element itself, as lithium is almost everywhere on Earth, but pace of extraction/refinement is slow.

Interesting - @BMW should plot their secure lithium supply vs their battery demand. Like many OEMs, BMW will find the semiconductor shortage was the “good old days” compared to their scramble for #lithium later in the decade. – at North Carolina, USA

Great to see things moving forward in the #EV space in #SouthAfrica. Will be good to see some sort of tax concessions or rebates to promote the uptake of #ElectricVehicles in South Africa too. moneyweb.co.za/news/south-af… @Moneyweb

Government takes first step toward mapping out electric vehicle strategy for SA

Accepts that global technological shifts could leave SA with stranded vehicle assembly assets.
