What does electrification mean for metals?

Over four million electric vehicles (EVs) have been sold globally by end of September and the time to sell a million EVs is shortening – from 5 years to 6 months within 7 years. In 2017, EV sales stood at about 1.4 million – almost half of the units were sold in China. This year, people expect China EV sales to double last year. In the longer term, S&P Global Platts Analytics foresee 50 million EVs sold by 2040, and market share to grow from less 5% to 60% in the same period, in China, US and Europe.

The rapid growth brings more attention on strong upside potential for battery raw materials, as battery costs make up a large part of the total cost of an EV, about 42%. Within it, cathode accounts for 60% battery cost. Lithium, cobalt and nickel account for 90% of cathode cost. A Tesla Model S would consume about 10 kg lithium and 12-15 kg cobalt.

Despite the escalating demand for metals, supply is taking off in the same time -- miners explore new projects, refiners expand capacity.

So, what does global electrification drive mean for commodities markets?

Join our 45-minute S&P Global Platts Webinar to find out.

This webinar brings together S&P Global Platts specialists from Singapore, Shanghai, London and New York, to discuss the implications of global electrification.
