Just a few years ago, we will laugh at the fact that electric vehicles will soon become mainstream, or the global demand for lithium.
The ion battery and the storage of large capacity power will be so greedy and so sudden.
No one laughed today, lithium is seen as our new super
We will firmly enter the minerals of the next century.
Now Tesla has begun to acquire Nevada and build its battery Gigabit battery plant, followed by rival Gigabit battery plants, which rival electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers are moving to this fast-growing market.
No one can keep up with the mobile market.
Not only has electric vehicles taken the first major step into the mainstream --
Most notably, Tesla has achieved amazing sales on its affordable Model 3 --
But it has gone beyond the mainstream.
Electric vehicles will be the rule, not the exception;
Lithium is the number one commodity of our time.
Germany has authorized all new cars registered in Germany to be discharged
Free before 2030.
To achieve this, the government has reached an agreement with automakers to spend $1 together.
Increase sales of electric vehicles by 4 billion.
They hope to sell 500,000 electric vehicles by 2020.
So they are subsidizing the electric vehicle industry and automatically adding lithium when it is not needed.
Norway is also following suit by working on legislation to ban gasoline sales altogether --
Until 2025. And in the U. S.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the mainstream popularity of electric vehicles will reduce gasoline demand by 5% to 20% in the next 20 years, provided that the market share of electric vehicles will exceed 35% by 2035.
Although our energy revolution started slowly, better cars with more reasonable prices and tighter air --
Pollution regulations and the growing desire to curb climate change around the world have driven the revolution.
This is all driven by lithium, and from our desire for consumer electronics, lithium has always enjoyed a stable demand --
But now I'm going to a place where there was no mineral before.
Tesla, Nissan, Hyundai and Volkswagen are all launching electric vehicles, and Ford plans to invest $4.
According to The Wall Street Journal, over the next four years, 5 billion will develop amazing 12 new electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles.
"Electric vehicles are one of the biggest market spoilers in centuries --
This makes lithium our most reasonably bullish commodity, "Craig Alfred, CEO of Oroplata Resources, told oil prices. com.
Let hoarding begin, metal hoarding and demand are driving spot market prices up to $15,000 or more per ton
Only $5,000 a few years ago.
Lithium prices rose 20% in 2014.
In 2015, China's spot price of battery-grade lithium soared to the market from $7,000 a tonne in the middle of the Year --
An astonishing $20,000 a tonne earlier this year.
By 2025, market consumption will increase from 160,000 metric tons to an astonishing 470,000 metric tons.
Even if the market share of electric vehicles grew by only 1%, its demand for lithium would increase by 70,000 metric tons.
This is about half the demand today.
This makes the goods --
Goldman Sachs described "new gasoline" as the main goal of the breakthrough --
Among the junior miners who are keen to enter the traditional oligopolistic monopoly.
These young people will be as disruptive to the market as electric cars.
In the competition for the new lithium supply area, the juniors persevere, and the latest juniors on the spot are oroplata Resources, Inc.
Recently, the company claimed 100% cars in Tesla's backyard-
Owns the western Nevada Basin project. Close to home —
Near North American electric vehicle center stage-
There is no other place to go except Nevada where there is the only salt water
Strategically, lithium is at the forefront of the American energy revolution.
"Gigafactory" state is now the hottest event site since the California Gold Rush, and new entrants are scrambling to claim in the only place in the United States where lithium ore is produced-
Silver Peak Mine in Albemarle.
According to Fortune magazine, some people estimate that the Silver Peak Mine Alone "has the hope of digging out more untapped wealth of precious metals buried outside the mine.
"These young people bet that the Clayton Valley basin in Nevada has a much higher lithium content than we thought, and geological conditions may prove that they are right.
"There has never been such a tight supply of goods before," said Alfred ofOroplata Resources, who has just confirmed that there is a "highly abnormal lithium value" in its western Nevada Basin project ", right in the center of the state's lithium zero point.
"Now, it's all about getting out of the Woods first and becoming the next supplier of the revolution that has already started at an amazing pace.
Musk will agree.
When he cut the ribbon at the new gigabit factory, he pointed out that he alone would exhaust most of the existing lithium supplies in the world.
"In order to produce half a million cars every year . . . . . . We basically need to absorb lithium from all over the world --
Ion production, "Musk said.
There is only one person, a brand electric car and a Geely car.
This competition is indeed the first to receive a new supply of lithium --
We have every reason to be optimistic about the new youth who will disrupt the whole market. OilPrice.
