Adamas: China, US and Japan drove 73% of electrified vehicle battery nickel deployment in May 2019

Green Car Congress

The US was responsible for 25% of all NME deployed globally in passenger EV batteries in May 2019, the same percentage as in May 2018, as sales of high-capacity BEVs, such as the Tesla Model 3, using high-nickel cathode chemistries have remained robust. In the US, as in China, battery nickel is consumed mainly as nickel sulfate.

Lux Research: the $40,000, 200-mile-range EV is the biggest coming growth opportunity for energy storage in transportation

Green Car Congress

By 2020, this new EV battleground should account for $5 billion or more in Li-ion battery sales, because it combines larger packs (around 50 kWh) with more sales (hundreds of thousands of vehicles). While selling in similar volumes, plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) used three times less batteries: about $0.7 billion worth.
