According to a study by the environmental umbrella organization Transport and Environment (T&E), sufficient raw materials are available globally to produce up to 14 million e-cars worldwide in 2023. Even without Russian supplies of nickel and lithium, the actual production capacities are 55 percent higher than previous market forecasts. The frequent assertion that there are not enough raw materials available in the short term to drive the transport revolution forward despite sanctions against Russia is therefore not true in T&E’s view.
