[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 651716, member: 4386"] The four metals used most abundantly in both types of cars are not even mentioned (iron, aluminium in fine print, titanium, magnesium not at all). A few decades ago we had major developments here in magnesium metal, that was to be the new wonder metal - most companies then collapsed. What it is really showing is that a greater number of "New Age" metals are used in EVs than in conventional cars, which is completely correct (if inaccurate - eg your mobile phone alone uses about 12 metals and so would EV I imagine). But it does show how there will be a boom in demand for lithium, perhaps cobalt and to some extent rare earths and nickel. Lithium is the only abundant one at present. [/QUOTE]
