    Nickel is new headache for automakers as cobalt fears abate

    Bloomberg reported that locking in supplies of key battery raw materials lithium and cobalt has been a headache for electric car manufacturers, but these days it’s the supply of nickel and graphite that’s keeping them up at night. Carmakers bracing for a surge in electric vehicle sales in the early 2020s are increasingly worried about where they’ll get enough nickel and graphite to go into batteries, according to Simon Moores, managing director at Benchmark Mineral Intelligence. Concern about lithium and cobalt has eased as miners ramp up production at new projects.

    Mr Moores said at a press briefing in London that “It was lithium and cobalt for the last few years that they worried about.” Mr Moores added that “In the last four months it’s shifted; they seem pretty confident that the lithium and cobalt will be there in that timeframe.”

    Investors and miners are already alert to the risk that supply will fall short of demand. Research commissioned by commodities trading giant Glencore Plc indicates that global demand for nickel in electric vehicles will hit nearly 1 million metric tons by 2030. That amounts to 55 percent of the metal produced globally in 2017. Prices look set to double by 2022, but producers still aren’t likely to keep up with demand from the automotive industry, according to Wood Mackenzie.

    The buoyant outlook for battery demand has helped insulate nickel from a selloff in base metals over the past few weeks. Prices are up 5.7 % so far this year at USD 13,490 a tonne, while other base metals trading on the London Metal Exchange are down across the board.

    Mr Moores said that as was the case with lithium and cobalt, there’s growing anxiety about how nickel and graphite producers will supply metal of the right quality in the right quantities when electric vehicle sales start to hit the mainstream.

    But investors betting on nickel’s battery-powered future may have a tougher time than those who have been chasing returns in the cobalt and lithium industry, Benchmark Minerals analyst Caspar Rawles cautioned.

    Mr Rawles said in London that “The one problem that nickel potentially faces is that investors are trying to catch what happened with nickel and cobalt a couple of years ago, and it’s premature.” Currently, it’s conventional usage in stainless steel that’s driving demand, and it will be several years before the red-hot battery market starts making an impact on prices.

    Fastned boekt forse omzetgroei

    Gepubliceerd op 31 jul 2018 om 08:32 | Views: 1.498

    AMSTERDAM (AFN) - De uitbater van snellaadstations Fastned is in het eerste halfjaar fors gegroeid. Bezitters van elektrische auto's 'tankten' vaker bij laadstations van het Nederlandse bedrijf, dat in de eerste zes maanden van dit jaar elf nieuwe stations opende. De onderneming zag haar omzet daardoor meer dan verdubbelen.

    De opbrengsten stegen het eerste halfjaar met 150 procent tot iets minder dan 468.000 euro, meldt Fastned op basis van voorlopige cijfers. Het klantenbestand dijde uit tot 9533 automobilisten, wat ook meer dan een verdubbeling is ten opzichte van een jaar eerder. Dat klantenbestand was samen goed voor ruim 1 miljoen kilowattuur aan laadsessies.

    De operationele kosten stegen eveneens. Dat had onder meer te maken met de bouw van nieuwe laadstations en de opening van twee kantoren in Duitsland en het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Daarnaast stegen de afschrijvingskosten en stelde Fastned meer softwarepersoneel aan. Het nettoverlies nam daardoor toe tot een kleine 2,7 miljoen euro, tegen 2 miljoen een jaar eerder.

    Tesla kan niet super snelladen bij Fastned
    Door HARRY VAN GELDER

    Updated 9 min geleden
    56 min geleden in FINANCIEEL

    Slecht nieuws voor Fastned. De momenteel best verkocht elektrische auto, Tesla model 3, kan niet snel laden (half uur) bij het snellaadstation. Volgens Fastned kunnen Tesla-auto’s wel sneller dan thuis laden, maar geen gebruiken van de supercharger.

    1 / 2
    ? LEX VAN LIESHOUT
    Dat blijkt uit het het bericht over de halfjaarcijfers van Fastned. De helft van de elektrische auto’s in Nederland is inmiddels een Tesla.

    Maar deze auto’s kunnen alleen langzaam laden bij Fastned, dat zichzelf ziet als het ‘pompstation’ van de elektrische auto in Europa.

    BEKIJK OOK:

    Fastned onder vuur van pomphouders
    Tesla heeft zijn eigen snellaadplekken, die goedkoop zijn voor de eigen rijders omdat zij de stations subsidiëren met de aankoop van hun elektrische wagen.

    Volgens de website heeft Tesla inmiddels 28 laadplekken in Nederland. Fastned heeft 71 laadstations.

    Meer concurrentie
    Nog meer slecht nieuws voor Fastned. Het concern krijgt steeds meer concurrentie van pompstations die ook laadpalen neerzetten. Fastned spant de ene na de andere rechtszaak aan om pomphouders hiervan te weerhouden, maar de rechter heeft Fastned al drie keer teruggefloten.

    BEKIJK OOK:

    Pomphouders zijn Fastned beu
    Volgens de Nederlandse overheid en de rechters mogen pomphouders gewoon laadpalen bouwen, hetgeen bijvoorbeeld Shell ook van plan is om te gaan doen.

    De omzet van Fastned groeide dit jaar met 150% naar €467.770. Maar het verlies steeg ook flink van €2,0 miljoen naar een kleine €2,7 miljoen.

    Albert Heijn sluit aan
    Goed nieuws voor het bedrijf is dat het een Europese subsidie kreeg die kan oplopen tot €1,4 miljoen. Ook tekende het bedrijf een overeenkomst om bij drie Albert Heijn snelladers neer te zetten.

    Fastned hoopt dit jaar €30 miljoen op te halen bij investeerders om nieuwe laadstations te bouwen en om de gaten in de begroting te dichten.

    De cijfers van Fastned zijn nog niet gecontroleerd door de accountant. Goedgekeurde cijfers verschijnen pas begin 2019.

    Volkswagen mulls own production of battery cells in Europe - Mr Diess

    Reuters reported that Volkswagen is eyeing producing its own solid state battery cells, with possible serial production from 2024 or 2025, its chief executive said. "We must not make ourselves dependent on a few Asian manufacturers in the long term," VW CEO Mr Herbert Diess said after the group reported second-quarter results. He said advances in ceramic separators had raised the viability of mass production of solid state batteries.

    Mr Diess said that, A solid state battery factory would likely be in Europe, or even in Germany under the right conditions.

    Battery cells are a key battleground in the automotive industry as it shifts to electric mobility.

    Currently the industry sources its requirements from Asian manufacturers such as CATL, which plans to build its first European production site in Germany.

    India plans new policy to promote electric vehicles

    Economic Times reported that government is preparing a fresh policy for promotion of electric vehicles, which will be rolled out initially on a smaller scale to ensure smoother transition and better cooperation from the automobile sector. A government official said that the policy, advocating minimal subsidies, is likely to be announced at a global e-mobility summit to be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on September 7.

    According to the fresh proposal, the government will first begin creating favourable ecosystems in nine polluted cities with a population of over four million, and gradually move to cities with populations of one million-plus. Also, busy corridors such as Mumbai-Pune and Delhi-Chandigarh are being identified.

    The government could also consider throwing a 100-day global challenge to automakers for setting up manufacturing facilities for e-vehicles, batteries and charging infrastructure in India, as reported by ET in September last year. In February this year, Union transport minister Nitin Gadkari had announced that the government has dropped plans to prepare a separate policy for electric mobility.

    The official said that “However, a new policy to create favourable ecosystems for transition to electric vehicles is silently being worked upon. The government has already begun consultations with industry bodies, including the Confederation of Indian Industries, FICCI and auto makers on five aspects.” These include challenges and support required for electric vehicles manufacturing, battery manufacturing, setting up charging infrastructure, promoting electric vehicles in commercial fleet and the role of renewable energy in electric mobility.

    A source privy to the development said that “There is a shift in the government direction. Rather than spreading it to a pan-India basis, the government now wants to concentrate on creating pilot projects in populated and polluted cities that have a large vehicle base for easy transition. Also, the programme needs to give time to automakers.” The timelines and the roadmap for the policy are being identified but so far the aim remains to shift one-third of the petrol and diesel vehicles to electric fleet by 2030.

    The Union cabinet is also soon expected to take a call on the 8,730-crore second phase of Faster Adoption And Manufacturing of (Hybrid &) Electric Vehicles in India (Fame India) scheme that proposes fiscal and non-fiscal incentives to electric vehicle firms for five years. The power ministry is close to finalising a policy for electric vehicles charging infrastructure that proposes granting subsidies to PSUs for setting up a basic charging station network in big cities and highways for gaining momentum in electric vehicle sales.

    Only 1pct of China electric car startups to survive-NIO Capital

    According to NIO Capital, China is home to hundreds of startups betting on the electric car revolution, but only 1 % will be able to survive in an industry that requires significant investment in technology. Managing Partner Ian Zhu said that The venture capital fund, which is partly backed by Chinese electric-vehicle company NIO, is nonetheless very cautious on buying into EV startups.

    He said that the Shanghai-headquartered firm is seeking to raise 10 billion yuan (USD 1.5 billion) for an onshore fund and favors investing in joint projects between auto startups and traditional carmakers because they combine innovation with real manufacturing capabilities.

    Mr Zhu said in an interview in his Beijing office on Aug. 3 that “It’s a very complicated system that needs abundant investments and a large group of people to be able to build a car from scratch. Therefore, the survival rate of all these EV startups will be very low.”

    China’s quest to lead the world in cars powered by electricity has enticed investors to pour billions of dollars into startups and production. Emboldened by Tesla Inc.’s still small presence in what is the biggest market for EVs, companies like Xpeng Motors Technology Ltd. and NIO -which is backed by tech giant Tencent Holdings Ltd. have been racing to gain a foothold.

    Most EV startups in China are yet to manufacture on a large scale or be able to deliver cars in bulk to consumers, but that hasn’t stopped the companies from valuing themselves at levels several times the value of traditional Chinese carmakers such as BAIC Motor Corp and Great Wall Motor Co. in recent fundraising rounds.

    And competition in China where more than half of the world’s EVs are sold is set to intensify, with Beijing’s shift to allow foreign car brands to fully own their local units. Trade tensions between the world’s two biggest economies are also pushing big international carmakers such as BMW AG and Tesla to accelerate their plans to locally produce EV models in China.

    The trade war will also create more hurdles to investment in technology, slowing the car industry’s pivot toward self-driving vehicles, according to Zhu.

    The fight between the US and China over trade, which has intensified in recent weeks, “is a real obstruction to the global economy and technology development,” he said. “If it continues or escalates, it will delay the commercialization of intelligent electric cars as well as slow down global efforts to improve traffic safety and efficiency.”

    As a result, the fund is looking to buy minority stakes in auto-technology companies both in China and overseas, rather than attempt wholesale takeovers. That way, the fund can tap into the rise of electric and autonomous cars, while minimizing the risks that could come from a full takeover, including regulatory resistance on security grounds, he said.

    Nissan begins production of China focused electric car

    Economic Times reported that Nissan's first electric sedan designed for China began production at the start of a wave of dozens of planned lower-cost electrics being created by global automakers for their biggest market. Nissan CEO Hiroto Saikawa said that “We're confident that the Sylphy Zero Emission rolling off the production line today will become a main player in the EV market. We're going to roll out a range of EVs that will appeal to customers within all market segments.''

    The Sylphy Zero Emission, based on Nissan's leaf, is being produced by Nissan Motor Co and a Chinese partner, Dongfeng Motor group. The Sylphy costs CNY 166,000 (USD 25,850) after government subsidies, or just over half the sticker price of the Chinese version of the Leaf sold by Nissan and Dongfeng's joint venture Venucia brand. Nissan says the Sylphy can go 338 kilometers (210 miles) on a charge.

    Manufacturers including General Motors and Volkswagen are poised this year to launch a flood of electric sedans, minivans and SUVs in China designed for local tastes and smaller budgets. Nissan, Tesla, GM and others sell imported electrics or electrified versions of models made by Chinese partners, but the market is dominated by low-cost local rivals including BYD Auto.

    Tesla failed to secure Saudi finance

    Sputnik News reported that, Tesla might face a regulatory crackdown after its CEO Mr Elon Musk failed to secure Saudi financing to take the company private adding to the carmaker’s mounting issues of low sales, negative revenue, and enormous debt. Kristian Rouz CEO of electric car-maker said that he won't accept the Saudi proposal of a USD 72-billion investment to delist the struggling company from the stock exchange and take it private. The announcement comes days after the Securities and Exchange Commission launched a probe into the proposal as possibly misleading investors to support Tesla's stock value.

    Musk's decision would leave Tesla a public company after a major sell off in its stock dealt a blow to its capitalization. It also raises questions over Tesla's future, as the company's profitability has dropped over the past few weeks amid tough competition on the electric car market.

    Musk said the Saudi investment proposal was abandoned after a Tesla board meeting earlier this week. The decision now creates more problems for Tesla and Musk. Previously, Tesla's CEO said he would take the company private paying USD 420 per share with the Saudi money adding the financing had already been secured.

    BYD roll out first electric bus

    Gasgoo reported that BYD's new energy bus manufacturing base located at Wangyuan Industrial Park in Yinchuan City saw its first complete vehicle officially roll off the assembly line on September 18, according to local media. This is also the first all-electric bus that was independently made in Ningxia. BYD signed an agreement with Yinchuan municipal government on April last year to build an electric bus base in Yongning County, which reportedly started construction on June 7, 2017. Less than 16 months later, such main facilities as the bus car factory, the all-electric bus manufacturing factory, the painting workshop, the testing workshop as well as the administration building have been completed. Moreover, 500 units of all-electric buses bought by Yinchuan Public Transport Co Ltd have been deployed across the city.

    According to Wangjie, vice president of BYD, the company's Yinchuan NEV base will take Ningxia as the foothold and radiate businesses to surrounding markets, such as Gansu, Qinghai and Xinjiang. The planned capacity per shift is 1,000 all-electric buses on an annual basis. Besides, the Yinchuan base will strive to achieve a yearly output value exceeding RMB 1.5 billion. The automaker will deepen the cooperation with Yinchuan City onward in such areas as the PV and railway transportation, etc.

    Europe should develop its own EV battery - Ms Angela Merkel

    Auto News quoted German Chancellor Angela Merkel as saying that Germany should work with other European countries to develop the region's own battery-cell production for electric cars. Ms Merkel told a news conference in Berlin that "I think we should, within the framework of our own strategic abilities, work with other European countries on our own battery-cell production.”

    The comments were echoed by Merkel’s Economy Minister Peter Altmaier, who said he expects European companies to make progress by the end of the year in moving toward European production of solid state battery cells. A spokeswoman for the minister said that "It is clear that this would be a private enterprise, but we will happily support it politically. We are confident that we will have more concrete results by the end of the year.”

    Europe has no significant production of the constituent cells of battery packs a market currently dominated by a handful of firms including China's CATL and Korean rivals LG Chem and Samsung.
