Developing sustainable sources of critical raw materials for use in Electric Vehicle (EV) applications are limited by constraints that are more complex than those of a traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) supply chain. For the world to remain in line with IEA (Net Zero Emissions) targets, such constraints must attract proactive and realistic solutions at the speed and scale required to supply energy transition technologies. Can OEMs revolutionise their existing supply chains at the pace required to meet the ramp-up in EV demand?
