Lithium is produced worldwide and subsequently used for batteries. The e-car industry in particular relies on the raw material. However, according to a study, the occurrences are no longer sufficient in just a few years. Europe in particular will then be dependent on imports or alternatives.
Demand for e-cars is growing, but this also requires more and more lithium. Scientists are now warning of challenges – and are making several recommendations.
For the ambitious electric car plans we soon lack lithium, warns an international research team. Other experts reply: It is not quite as dramatic.
Electromobility (e-mobility): (dpa) batteries contain a lot of lithium. Due to the expansion of electromobility, the raw material could become scarce in a few years, scientists warn. Especially in Europe, it could become tight.
The growing demand for electric cars could lead to a worldwide shortage of lithium in a few years. Despite ambitious expansion plans to extract the important battery raw material, the 2030 supply could not be enough.
The growing demand for electric cars could lead to a worldwide shortage. Scientists predict the biggest bottleneck for Europe
