A NICKEL BATTERY-CHARGED FUTURE
EV sales forecasted to reach 44 million vehicles per year by 2030 under the EV30@30 Initiative (EVI)
To increase energy density, future battery chemistries will contain more nickel
Nickel will make up to 80% of the mass in cathodes
2030 projected nickel demand of 1.3 Million Metric Tonnes Per Annum (59% of current annual supply) as nickel content in EVs increases to 40kg per car battery
