The eternal debate on electric batteries: global demand for electric vehicles will reach 3.5 GWh in 2030, 15 times more than today.
This rapid growth may be a mirage due to the limited supply of lithium, cobalt, manganese and nickel, which are essential for making batteries.
"Investment in new refining and feedstock extraction facilities is needed to meet growing demand, and governments, manufacturers, miners and recyclers need to work together to ensure adequate supply".
Mario Nicolás, NCPOWER
In addition, investment in charging infrastructure is also needed.
A cumulative investment of €1 billion in electric vehicle charging infrastructure will be needed over the next 20 years. Rapid expansion of the public charging network will be required to meet the growing fleet. There are between 5 and 20 EVs per public charging connector in most markets, but this will increase to between 30 and 45 in the future.
European Mobility Week 16-22 September
The Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge is the national coordinator of the campaign. It aims to raise awareness among politicians and citizens of the benefits for both public health and the environment associated with the use of more sustainable modes of transport. Social organisations, institutions and companies are involved in various activities promoting sustainable mobility.
"At NCPOWER we have created our own battery management system (BMS) and the innovative NCPOWER System, and exclusively (customised) for each customer, providing the electric vehicle market with more sustainable lithium batteries".
Electrification involves zero emissions and represents an important pathway for the energy transition that many vehicle manufacturers are embracing by moving away from polluting fossil fuel sources.
