Depending on usage and technology price a wide range of different drives will be offered in future:

Especially battery-driven technologies and fuel cells depend on very specific raw materials

(cobalt, lithium for batteries – platinum for fuel cells – copper & rare earths for electric engines)

Feedback loops as a typical element of system dynamics modelling

Highly increasing number of new cars leads to higher prices due production shortages

A growing car stock leads to higher energy consumption and increasing fuel prices

Forecast of worldwide cars sales per drivetrain technologies is volatile and strongly depends on the development of framework conditions (technology availability, oil price,…)

Uncertainty in forecasting battery technology: Raw materials, particularly cobalt are likely to be substituted in the long term

High planning uncertainties and market risks both mining companies and battery or car producers are confronted with

Market penetration of BEV and PEV depends on supply with lithium and cobalt which both have high geological reserves, thus the potential depletion of the materials is not relevant

High lead times and planning periods of mining projects (5-10 years):

Are today‘s investments in mining and production facilities able to meet future demand?
