How a Battery and Key Metals Shortage Could Halt the Growth of the Electric Vehicle Market
摘要
The future of electric vehicles (EVs) is closely tied to the development of advanced battery technologies that offer higher energy density, longer lifespan, faster charging, and lower cost. However, the mass adoption of electric vehicles requires a sustainable supply chain that addresses the ethical and environmental concerns associated with mining and processing the materials required for the production of batteries. This chapter explores the current state of battery technology and supply chain, the challenges associated with their development, and potential solutions for a sustainable future.
