Prices for some of the minerals, which include graphite, cobalt, lithium and nickel, could increase as a result of the high demand and the limited supply, Tesla global supply manager of battery metals Sarah Maryssael said in a closed-door presentation Thursday confirmed by the company. Investment is important to ensure there is sufficient supply for the industry to grow, she said.
Funding for projects to mine these minerals in certain countries has been challenging in the past, Maryssael said at the presentation. But the industry is now able to source battery minerals responsibly through partnerships with producers in countries such as Chile, Australia and Canada. Reuters reported her comments earlier.
Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Democratic Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia are expected to introduce a bill this month designed to streamline the permitting process needed to mine so-called critical materials in the U.S., Sam Runyon, a Manchin spokeswoman, said in an email. About half of the world’s electric vehicles are sold in China, and most components of the rechargeable batteries are manufactured there. The Asian nation controls about two-thirds of that industry, with Bloomberg NEF forecasting it could grow to about 73 percent by 2021. The U.S. controls only about 13 percent of the global lithium cell production capacity, with no growth expected, according to BNEF.

Business Maverick: The spectre of stagflation is haunting South Africa and the alternative is also scarySouth Africa's economy does not have a lot in its favour at the moment. Relatively moderate inflation in recent years has been one of the few bright spots. Even this has been a mixed blessing as it partly stems from subdued demand. This could change soon, with price pressures unrelated to consumption building in the economy. Against the backdrop of anaemic growth and sky-high unemployment, this could unleash the spectre of stagflation. And if prices do remain subdued, it is only because of the dire state of the economy. No clear policy and leadership ! Just corruption from thieving, bent MYANC and CyrilRamaphosa who can’t stop it and won’t!

BUSINESS MAVERICK: South Africa is not the only regional economy with a debt problemSouth Africa was not the only economy in the region to suffer a lost decade or ‘nine wasted years’, to quote President Cyril Ramaphosa. In some ways mirroring Pretoria’s trajectory, many African economies have been racking up concerning levels of debt against a backdrop of relatively sluggish growth. Part of this stems from continued reliance on natural resources. The failure to diversify or industrialise is one reason why so much of the past decade has been lost.

BUSINESS MAVERICK: Trusts under BEE scrutiny in yet another dramatic policy shiftOne thing certain about SA’s business and economic environment is uncertainty. Targets or policies seemingly set in stone are suddenly not worth the paper they were written on, leaving investors scratching their heads if they are not banging them against walls. This is the case with the sudden U-turn last week by the BEE Commission, which signalled that trusts will no longer count for black participation in ownership structures. Expect corporate SA to draw a line in the sand. Meanwhile, the mining industry, which has had its own issues with trusts, should be out of the line of fire.
