Jul 19, 2023 · With geologists hunting high and low for battery materials, an enormous new discovery of phosphate rock could have huge implications for the electric vehicle industry. The reserves, discovered in Rogaland, south west Norway by Anglo-Norwegian firm Norge Mining, are equivalent to at least 70 billion tonnes.

Jun 25, 2021 · As it transitions from fossil fuels to renewables, electricity generation will place a burden on the global supply of critical battery minerals. The world’s battery capacity must grow 40 times larger than it is today, and electric vehicles will require 80% of that future capacity. There will also be increased need for integrated circuits.

May 11, 2023 · These figures include both battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs). Electric vehicles made up 13% of light vehicle sales worldwide in 2022. Image: EV Volumes

Jul 20, 2022 · Dividing lithium production by the amount needed per battery shows that enough lithium was mined last year to make just under 11.4 million EV batteries. This is a level that annual electric vehicle purchases could hit soon, after first-quarter sales rose by 75% on the year to touch 2 million, according to IEA figures.

Oct 3, 2024 · There are three ways to create such roads: a system of overhead wires, which can be used by heavy vehicles such as buses or trams; conductive charging, where vehicles are charged through a metal strip that touches a rail in the road; and inductive charging, which uses equipment underneath the road to send electricity to a coil in the vehicle ...

Dec 12, 2022 · Between 2020 and 2021, electric vehicle (EV) sales increased by 50% to 6.6 million vehicles. By 2030, EVs could exceed 50% of total automotive sales in markets, backed by major markets’ internal combustion car phase-out regulations. As cars, trucks and buses are increasingly battery-powered and generate zero tail-pipe emissions, the ...

May 3, 2021 · Global stock of electric vehicles (EVs) could reach 245 million units by 2030, according to the International Energy Agency. While EVs emit less CO2, their batteries are tough to recycle. Made from cobalt, lithium and nickel, the mining of these raw materials raises ethical and environmental concerns.

Feb 15, 2024 · Greater investment is necessary to meet net-zero targets, the Forum says, citing IEA data in its Fostering Effective Energy Transition 2023 report that “$0.9 trillion needs to be invested by 2030 to modernize electricity networks and build public electric vehicle charging stations” and said that EV battery manufacturing capacity is 15% ...

Dec 19, 2024 · While the transition to sustainable mobility takes time, AI accelerates the journey. Engineers with powerful tools to decode EV battery physics complexities drive this transition. Electric vehicles' future depends on their ability to innovate; AI, when trusted and understood, becomes their most powerful ally.

Feb 21, 2023 · As the largest economy in Southeast Asia, Indonesia is becoming a pivotal country in global electric vehicle (EV) production. It is committed to producing 13 million electric motorcycles and 2.2 million electric cars by 2030. Indonesia has an abundant natural supply of nickel, with up to 52% of the world’s nickel resources.
