Excerpt
"Metals such as cobalt, lithium, nickel and copper have seen demand soar in recent years as the shift away from cars powered by fossil fuels gains momentum and mining companies are investing billions of dollars into developing deposits of those key commodities."

Earlier today I was looking at the Ford Europe news. I ran across this article

of interest in the article concerning the European electric vehcile market

"In addition, the company (Ford) said:

Every Ford nameplate from the all-new Ford Focus onward will include an electrified option. This includes new nameplates and new versions of existing vehicles. From Fiesta to Transit, either a mild-hybrid, full-hybrid, plug-in hybrid or full electric option will be offered, delivering one of the most encompassing lineups of electrified options for European customers.
Ford also will build on its success in the growing utility segment in Europe. Ford SUV sales — comprising EcoSport, Kuga and Edge — hit a record in 2018, for the first time surpassing a quarter million vehicles sold.
A portfolio of imported iconic nameplates for Europe that builds on the heritage of the Ford brand will include Mustang, Edge and another SUV to be revealed in April, along with a new, Mustang-inspired full-electric performance utility in 2020."
