From Crisis to Catalyst: Tackling Commodity Hurdles in the Global EV Industry

As the demand for electric vehicles (EVs) rises worldwide, the supply of critical metals and minerals used in their manufacture is being affected. Some countries, including Namibia, Zimbabwe, and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), have prohibited the export of EV commodities like lithium, cobalt, and more to take advantage of growing demand. This, along with the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and commodity disruptions, will create supply challenges for automotive companies seeking to export to the US. Additionally, the US and EU have implemented forced labor legislation banning imports from the XUAR, a top global exporter of raw materials such as aluminum, cobalt, and lithium. The pressing question now is: where can you find a reliable source of EV commodities?
