There is already a huge surplus production due to a worldwide rush to put up massive battery manufacturing plants(Though the raw material supply is scarce). In fact, China controls half the cobalt mines in Congo. They’re attempting to decrease their reliance on costly cobalt. WATCH]: Charge any car at TESLA charger.
Picture this: You’re cruising down the road in your sleek, futuristic electric vehicle (EV), enjoying the whisper-quiet ride and emission-free journey. The supply chain in the EV industry is a complex ecosystem that spans multiple continents, involving various components, raw materials, and intricate processes.
years if the car is charged using renewable energy. When EV batteries degrade enough to be unsuitable for cars (about 70% capacity remaining), they are re-used for electricity storage. Production causes more emissions than combustion engine models, an EV beginning life with a heavy "emissions debt.”
The turmoil is likely to have long-term ramifications for supply, and stands in stark contrast to the growing emphasis by governments on securing future access to critical minerals. Investors should wait to see evidence of this type of re-balancing among the world’s lithium and cobalt miners, before they think about buying exposure.”

Range has increased, access to charging infrastructure has expanded, and major automakers have (finally) begun to actively market their EVs and to prepare for a new era of mass production. Newly charged automakers are finding themselves to be production-constrained , as EV trendsetter Tesla has been for some years.
Canada last fall announced a tougher policy on critical mineral investment – particularly from dominant producer China – as it worked to shore up its domestic supply of critical minerals after the global pandemic exposed supply chain problems that caused major production disruptions.
