A doctoral student in engineering management at Missouri University of Science and Technology, Ona Egbue, is studying potential disruptions to the long-term supply chain for lithium. However, there are issues associated with the present supply chain of raw materials for battery production, particularly the security and supply of lithium.

Direct sourcing critical EV raw materials and components from suppliers in North America and free-trade-agreement countries helps make our supply chain more secure, helps us manage cell costs, and creates jobs. This relationship underscores our commitment to develop a sustainable domestic lithium supply chain for electric vehicles.

Although the price trajectory of the metal has been subdued in recent months, the fundamentals behind the long-term trajectory suggest strong potential for long-term growth. Grid storage is designed on a variety of scales, each with a different price point. However, 2016 can be considered the year the lithium oligopoly came to an end.

It’s important to remember that prior to the crash, lithium had enjoyed a meteoric rise with prices doubling since the beginning of 2016 and nearly quadrupling over the past decade. A furor around anticipated new supply especially from China’s new hard-rock projects and Chilean brine mines got out whack and derailed the market.
