Forbes article...
"European manufacturers, who are most reliant on Russian nickel, will see the biggest impact, according to Moores. Russia’s Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline has illustrated Europe’s energy reliance on Russia, but the nickel supply chain from Russia to Finland to Germany to make cathode material for EV lithium-ion batteries is equally problematic, he says."
"Along with nickel, other metals the auto industry relies on including palladium–needed for catalytic converters–and lithium and cobalt which are also used for batteries also continue to rise. That will make it tougher to drive down the price of EV batteries even as the technology continues to improve."
