Companies like Tesla are working to develop nickel-cobalt-aluminum (NCA) batteries in their effort to reduce dependence on cobalt and further improve overall battery performance. Demand for cobalt is expected to remain solid into 2025, with nearly all major automobile companies having pledged to ramp up production of EVs.
At present, nickel demand for batteries makes up only a small share (~3 percent) of class 1 nickel demand. However, growth in nickel-intensive batteries is expected to boost demand for batteries by a factor of ~17 up to 2025 (from ~30 kt to 570 kt).
Our analysis of raw material requirements for batteries, which includes a radical shift away from cobalt- to more nickel-intensive batteries, shows that with expected metal supply developments, EV adoption is likely to be challenged by availability of cobalt and class 1 nickel around 2025.
