Will Russia's EV battery market be affected by sanctions?
June 2, 2022: Russia said on May 14 it was introducing controls on lead exports amid fears sanctions could disrupt the country’s heavy reliance on battery imports — but analysts warn the global energy storage and EV batteries market is set to suffer too.
Why is lithium a problem in Russia?
Lithium is not mined in Russia, so self-sufficiency in this metal is a problem, dealing with which is high on the agenda. High demand for lithium is a global trend driven by the rapid development of electric vehicles, primarily in China. Supply cannot yet catch up with demand.
Does Russia import lithium?
It should be noted, though, that some of the imports are then exported in the form of other compounds. Russia’s internal demand for lithium is 400 to 700 metric tons. Lithium is used in the nuclear power industry, in energy storage systems, and in the production of slag-forming mixtures for ladles and lubricants for mining operations.
Is Russia a big importer of batteries?
Russia is also a “far bigger importer of finished batteries than it is an exporter”, typically 160ktpa in versus 20ktpa out”. CRU’s lead analyst, Neil Hawkes, confirmed that all Russia’s lead output comes from recycling, with no primary smelters.
How much lithium does Russia need?
The Russian Government estimates the country’s needs at about 3,000 tons — this is how much of various metal compounds was imported in 2021. It should be noted, though, that some of the imports are then exported in the form of other compounds. Russia’s internal demand for lithium is 400 to 700 metric tons.
How will Russia and Ukraine affect electric vehicle batteries?
“Russia and Ukraine hold significant reserves of metals such as cobalt, nickel, platinum and palladium. Although for the prior commodities — save for palladium, at 40% world mined supply — neither are the world’s foremost suppliers, prices will be impacted and could impact electric vehicle batteries.”
