The race for electric vehicle (EV) battery metals is heating up.
The copper investment has the same strategic rationale, one of "ensuring strategic supplies of raw materials necessary for the success of the Company's global electrification plans", to quote Stellantis.
Imminent shortfall has been part and parcel of the copper narrative for many years, largely due to poor visibility on future project time-lines. Current guidance "points toward 34% less growth capex deployed in nominal terms between 2022-2026 than was deployed over the same time frame during the early-mid 2000's," according to Goldman Sachs. .
The company's modern-day successors are faced with the same raw materials shortfall across the battery metals spectrum. If they could have sourced their metals using their favoured horizontal supply chain model, they would have done.
