Surging EV sales in the Asia Pacific region brings a wall of metals demand.

The country hopes to capitalize on its supply of critical minerals needed for electric vehicles, including nickel, lithium and graphite, to attract investors.

General Motors and South Korea's POSCO will build a $400 million facility to produce battery materials in Canada.

Rising prices of nickel, lithium and other materials threaten to slow and even temporarily reverse the long-term trend of falling costs of batteries.

The plant would produce enough to supply 500,000 cars with lithium-ion batteries per year.

The growing struggles for everyone but Tesla are coming at a time when they should be flourishing.

It’s getting increasingly difficult to transport commodities like metals since almost half of the world’s container ships no longer go to Russia.
