Shift down a gear, change lanes, and then feel the engine's thrust. Friends of sporty driving must have been relieved when the new German government presented the coalition agreement, and it did not include a speed limit. Powerful overtaking maneuvers are generally most successful with an electric car. So sustainability and driving pleasure do not have to be a contradiction in terms. But for e-cars to be truly green, they need sustainably mined raw materials and companies that can make the most of them. We present three shares that not only make driving fun on the road but also give your portfolio a boost.

    Rock Tech Lithium: An old acquaintance returns

    Ever since Rock Tech Lithium announced its intention to build a factory in Brandenburg as a neighbor of Tesla, the stock has been the talk of the town in Germany. We already portrayed the value last April. In the meantime, the share has become one of the most popular lithium stocks. In October, the share made it to EUR 7 but then lost ground and crashed to EUR 4. In the meantime, however, the share has stabilized and is again scratching the EUR 5 mark. Recently, Rock Tech Lithium successfully closed a financing tranche. With the funds collected, a lithium hydroxide converter and a refinery plant are to be built at the Georgia Lake site in Ontario, Canada.

    In parallel, lithium prices also skyrocketed: at the end of 2020, a ton of lithium carbonate in China reached a price of almost USD 42,000, as reported by the Benchmark Minerals data service. Last March, Rock-Tech-Lithium-maker Dirk Harbecke expressed himself confidently in an interview with Kapitalerhoehungen.de: "Even if our economic planning is not yet ultimately completed, we expect, all things considered, to be in the black already from 7,500 dollars", the CEO said at that time. Even if the market is already pricing in a rosy future for Rock Tech Lithium, the share remains exciting.

    Nevada Copper: Cyclical with reserves

    While the market is cheerful about the lithium hopeful, market expectations for the US copper producer Nevada Copper seem rather gloomy. The share is bobbing around EUR 0.50 and thus at the 52-week low. In the same period, the share reached a level of EUR 2.36 but then slipped again. Nevada Copper is currently building its Pumpkin Hollow mine in the US state of Nevada. Tesla also has factories in the region. Most recently, work has been proceeding apace: "The Company continues to build on the operational improvements made over the past two quarters to further accelerate the development and production ramp-up," said President and CEO Randy Buffington at the end of 2021. "The introduction of additional equipment, labor and operational efficiencies resulted in the highest development rates achieved this year."

    After a year of repeated rounds of financing, which included participation from Germany's KfW, Nevada Copper could be headed straight toward production in 2022. Two investors, Solway and Mercuria, came on board during the past financing rounds. Both hold 10.4% of the shares and have committed themselves to advancing the gigantic Pumpkin Hollow project, which includes a permitted open pit mine in addition to the underground mine currently under construction. Although the share price has currently fallen back significantly, the stock has always been good for dynamic price jumps in the past. Thanks to the new investors, the time of negative surprises should be over. Speculative investors should keep the stock in mind.

    Porsche: Above EUR 100, the torque rises

    While Rock Tech Lithium and Nevada Copper are mining key raw materials for electromobility, sports car manufacturer Porsche is one of the companies driving demand for lithium and copper. The sleek cars from Zuffenhausen have long been a lot of fun on electric power. At the beginning of December, the share price rose significantly in the wake of speculation about a share swap by the Porsche / Piëch family from Volkswagen to Porsche. In the meantime, however, the situation has calmed somewhat. Beyond EUR 93.40, the share could make another attempt to reach the EUR 100 mark. Above that, the share could advance into a completely new area. The brand is strong, and Porsche is also well positioned in e-mobility. However, the Porsche on the road is still more fun than the Porsche share in the portfolio.


    When investors compare hot stocks around e-mobility, they find different investment stories: It is all there, from established companies to up-and-coming newcomers or genuine cyclicals. Nevada Copper must be considered extremely cyclical based on its historical share price performance, but this cyclicality offers opportunities precisely when it succeeds in buying at the bottom. Operationally, the Company is on a good path - the chances for 2022 are not bad.

    Is Power Metallic Mines poised for a summer rally? There are certainly good reasons to believe so: Following the discovery of its world-class multi-metal project, the stock has consolidated healthily. At the same time, further positive drilling results were reported, followed by a massive expansion of the area this week. Now, an extensive new drilling program is getting underway. Plug Power has shown in recent days how quickly a stock can rise by 50%. The insolvency candidate has delivered several pieces of positive news, and a short squeeze could drive the stock further. At Novo Nordisk, investors are realizing that the sell-off in recent months may have been too severe. The stock is working on a new upward trend. A hedge fund and a partnership in the AI sector are providing tailwinds.

    Madness: New tariffs - no, yes, or maybe not? Trump moves thyssenkrupp, Power Metallic, RENK, and Plug Power

    The stock markets have rarely seen such volatility. At this point, there are multiple shifts in direction on every trading day, triggered by the latest headlines from the White House. Last week was almost entirely about tariffs, with Putin's war and Trump's peace promises already forgotten. The world continues to live in uncertainty due to the prevailing war scenario, with no stone left unturned. This environment makes it clear: secure supply routes for raw materials will be essential in the coming period. In the defense industry in particular, metal shortages could become a showstopper. Investors can benefit from the current trends through careful selection as Western industrialized nations are stepping on the gas. Where are the big return generators hiding?

    Exploding profits? BYD's exports, Power Metallic Mines' drilling, Mercedes-Benz's tariff tactics

    The mobility transition is accelerating, but the road to an electric future is fraught with dynamics and dilemmas. While global demand for electric vehicles is exploding, shortages of key raw materials such as nickel, copper, lithium, and cobalt threaten to slow down ambitions. Innovations in recycling, alternative materials, and ethical sourcing are becoming a decisive competitive advantage. At the same time, new technologies and government subsidies are pushing the market into an era full of opportunities. Three players are at the center of this upheaval: BYD as a battery pioneer, Power Metallic Mines as a raw material supplier, and Mercedes-Benz as a premium manufacturer, who are jointly rewriting the rules of the green revolution.
