"The industry has a responsibility to make the cleanest possible cars" - William Todts, @transenv, in a letter to the @FT. To make the global switch to #EVs sustainable, we need to secure our battery #supplychain and ensure transparency across mining, refining and manufacturing
UK based electric van and bus start-up, @arrival, broke records when it was valued at $13.6 billion, or almost £10 billion, yesterday as its shares began trading in New York on @Nasdaq, highlighting the momentum behind #EVs. Read more here... https://t.co/YJsQfy3nk9
"Companies like #Livista Energy are leading the way, to ensure that Europe has the supply of lithium chemicals... following investment in battery and cathode manufacture, by companies like @Johnson_Matthey" - @charles_hendry at Raw Materials Dialogue hosted by @iom3#EVs#Lithium
When we think of #EVs we typically think of privately owned cars but what about commercial vehicles? The City of London has introduced the #UK's first full fleet of electric refuse collection vehicles to meet @WHO guidelines for NO2 emissions by 2025... https://t.co/B6KlgU5GXu
@charles_hendry speaking on the #EV revolution at #IPWeek said "We're not seeing any lithium produced in Europe. Currently 80 per cent of lithium for EV manufacturing comes from China, creating a supply chain risk as political difficulties can become trade difficulties"
Leading US car manufacturer, General Motors (@GM), has planned to phase out petrol and diesel cars globally by 2035. Is this the tipping point in the switch-over to electric vehicles? Read more below... #EVs#Green#Energy
Positive news as the #EU commits 2.9 billion euros of state aid to #battery projects, including @Tesla and @BMW's EV expansion. The @EU_Commission 'expects the support to trigger more than three times as much private investment, bringing the total spent to about 12 billion euros'
The scale of the challenge facing the UK in the construction of critical gigafactories for EV manufacturing becomes ever clearer. Under the Brexit trade deal, the UK has 6 years to establish domestic production of batteries or face tariffs.. https://t.co/z7A1F9Mett
It’s great to see British Formula E team, @EnvisionVirgin, join forces with @AlokSharma_RDG for this year's UN Climate Change Conference (@COP26) to promote electric vehicles & to inspire greater climate action. Read more here... https://t.co/c60jop1XkW #EVs#Green#Energy
Despite the impact of Covid-19, #EV demand is on the rise, which is reflected in @Tesla's 36% increase in sales during 2020 compared to 2019. This rise in demand brings along with it a needed revitalisation of the battery metals sector. Full story here... https://t.co/pZkQf4s4SP
#EV consultancy firm @rhomotion recently published that the European EV market has overtaken China in 2020. The rapid growth in EU, with sales growth close to 100% between 2019 and 2020, will will probably lead to a jump from 560k unit in 2019 to 1.14 million in 2020
It was a pleasure to join Joe Lowry last week to discuss Europe’s growing need for #battery metals with new sustainable supply chains #lithium#EVs#Sustainability .
CEO Daniel Bloor & Commercial Manager @j_m_hofer discuss Europe's #lithium demand, need for #Sustainability & #traceability as the EU calls for a localised, circular supply chain on the @globallithium podcast.

Great to see that EV sales in Europe are on the rise with 'nearly one in ten new vehicles sold in Europe now an electric vehicle' according to research carried out by @auto_schmidt. Check out the full article below...

🚗 A 'watershed moment' for the car industry as plug-in hybrid sales eclipse that of diesels, by around 13 per cent, as the #UK works towards its 2030 pledge. Read the full article here... https://t.co/VkeVqDWukE #Livista#Lithium#Green#Energy
When deciding to use your down day to do a little recce mapping to a new area brings a pleasant surprise. 2678 and 2225 ppm in outcropping alaskites!! #Uranium#Namibia#Mining@_CobraResources
More positive news flow coming from the #Tanzanian#mining sector as Tanzoz have mining licence approved for the Chenjere #Graphite Project

Fresh off the back of a very successful field campaign and launching of the cobra website https://t.co/QPtBY0fhjS, we will be present in London this week for @MinesAndMoney discussing investment opportunities in Africa and Uranium.
