NICKEL ASIA CORP.
NICKEL DEMAND BOOST FROM NICKEL-BASED BATTERIES FOR EVs
NCA and NMC preferred due to smaller size, longer distance, and safety.
Trend is to achieve longer distances by increasing cell pack capacity, which requires more Ni.
Demand for Ni in EVs may be inelastic due to the minimal effect of Ni price vs. EV price:
At US$25,000/t Ni, cost of Ni in NMC955 battery (high range) is US$1,650. Increase of US$5,000/t
Ni results in cost increase of US$330
