With Lithium Demand Accelerating, Keep an Eye on These Five Stocks August 22, 2023 - Baystreet.ca With growing demand for electric vehicles, lithium will remain a hot commodity. For one, supply can’t keep up with demand. Automakers are so concerned about supply for EV batteries, they’re racing to secure supply. For instance, Albemarle will deliver more than 100,000 tonnes of lithium hydroxide over a five-year period to support Ford EVs. General Motors invested $650 million into Lithium Americas’ Thacker Pass mine, where the miner estimates the lithium extracted can support production of up to a million EVs per year.That’s all substantial news for companies, such as European Energy Metals Corp. (TSXV: FIN) (OTC: EUEMF), Albemarle Corporation (NYSE: ALB), Lithium Americas (NYSE: LAC) (TSX: LAC), American Lithium Corp. (NASDAQ: AMLI) (TSXV: LI), and Piedmont Lithium (NASDAQ: PLL). Also, remember, according to Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares, there’s not enough lithium go around for the industry’s plans. “We know that we need lithium. We know that we are not producing as much as we need. We have right now 1.3 billion cars (that are) internal combustion engine powered on the planet. We need to replace that with clean mobility. That will need a lot of lithium. Not only the lithium may not be enough, but the concentration of the mining of lithium may create other geopolitical issues,” he said, as quoted by The Detroit News.
