146 Pounds of Graphite Needed for Each EV
Graphite - not lithium - is the largest component of lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles. That's why 97 more graphite mines will be needed by 2035 just to keep up with battery demand for the $7 trillion EV market.
The Ignored EV Story Few Investors Know About
Lithium may grab all the headlines, but the average electric vehicle requires 146 pounds of the mineral graphite. With no producing graphite mines in North America, the U.S. government is desperate for more domestic sources of the metal to feed the EV battery supply chain.
