Graphite versus Lithium - What Investors Should Know
Over 18 million EVs will be cruising U.S roads by 2030. And every one million EVs manufactured will require 82,000 tons of the metal graphite for their batteries. That's a total of 1,476,000 tons of graphite! Graphite is actually the largest component of EV batteries - NOT lithium.
