Article on Fathom Nickel I found this very interesting. There is more nickel in a typical EV battery than any other metal. And as the article points out there is no substitute for nickel. More nickel is needed in these batteries to increase the storage capacity of the battery to increase the driving range of the vehicle. See the link below.
Specific to a typical EV battery (NMC532), the metals required are:
- 17 pounds of lithium carbonate
- 30 pounds of cobalt
- 44 pounds of manganese
- 77 pounds of nickel
Now consider how much extra nickel needs to be produced each year if indeed the International Energy Agency is correct in a report estimating some 150 million EVs will be on the road by 2030.
