German-Canadian raw materials alliance: Graphano Energy, Volkswagen, Magna International
February 1, 2025, came as a shock to many Canadians. On that day, US President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on Canada and repeatedly suggested the country could become a US state. In response to these trade barriers, Canada sought to reduce its dependence on the US. An obvious partner is the EU. The two economies already entered into a strategic raw materials partnership in 2021. In this article, we explore the prospects for joint supply chains for electric vehicle batteries and highlight which companies stand to benefit.

Varta, Graphano Energy, BYD, NIO: 2022 analysis - The Tesla hunters are gaining momentum!
Are we facing another year of electromobility? In 2021, the number of passenger cars with pure electric drive (BEV) in Germany will comprise more than 365,000 vehicles, according to the Federal Motor Transport Authority; in 2011, there were just 2,300 electric cars in the country. In addition to pure battery-electric motor vehicles, hybrid cars are also usually equipped with an electric motor in practice. In the collective statistics, plug-in hybrids (PEVs) and BEVs are generally grouped together as electric cars. Based on this definition, the target of one million electric cars in Germany was reached in July 2021. How will this topic continue in 2022?

Varta, Graphano Energy, JinkoSolar: Is the climate turnaround off?
New technology offers excellent growth potential. One just has to think of smartphones, tablets or e-cars. Today, numerous electric cars line the roads. A few years ago, electrically powered vehicles were the exception rather than the rule, and passersby would stare at the silent vehicles. By 2030, combustion engines will be the exception. We will outline what this means for investors using three stocks as examples.

BYD, Graphano Energy, Heidelberger Druckmaschinen - Tesla urgently needs this
Climate change is on the global agenda. The cry for decarbonization of the economy is getting louder and louder. Climate activists call for an even faster transition, while politicians follow suit with ever shorter targets. The plans are in place, but implementation is still a long way off. The lack of raw materials, in particular, is likely to silence the theorists in the near future. In addition to lithium, one raw material is essential for the production of lithium-ion batteries.

BYD, Standard Lithium, Graphano Energy: Electromobility drives share prices
After the sell-off last Friday, the stock market lights are back on green as of Monday. Shares from the electromobility sector can also benefit from this. These include the shares of BYD, Standard Lithium and Graphano Energy. In addition to a technical countermovement, the three companies have recently published positive news. BYD has received a significant order from Spain, Standard Lithium has secured fresh capital and a well-known investor, and newcomer Graphano Energy is successfully pushing ahead with its graphite project.

Varta, Graphano Energy, BYD, NIO: Who supplies the blockbuster battery?
There is no way around a high-performance battery when benchmarking for those who see electromobility at the forefront. In the last 3 years, there have been no real leaps forward in development. Still, at least power compression in lithium-ion technology achieved a doubling of range and, in parallel, also lowered the previously long charging times. As a result, this has made an electric vehicle suitable for long distances for the first time, even though recharging must be expected in winter due to non-engine services such as heating. But technological development continues, new materials are being tested, and one day it will be available - the super battery. We look at some industry players.

Volkswagen, Graphano Energy, Varta: Graphite as the new e-car hype?
The mobility revolution is turning the economy upside down. Where steel and components for classic transmissions once dominated, the future raw materials, such as lithium, rare earths and graphite, are now being used. We highlight the tidal shift in the automotive industry and present companies that could benefit from it.

Lucid Group, Graphano Energy, Orocobre - The new eMobility and its children
It is expected that no more passenger cars with internal combustion engines will be allowed to be registered in the EU from 2035. The associated non-EU country Norway is exerting even more pressure: in the land of fjords and trolls, new vehicles with gasoline or diesel engines will be banned as early as 2025. The same applies to Great Britain: the end of the combustion engine is to be brought forward to 2035, perhaps even to 2030 and applies for light trucks up to 26 tons. With hydrogen technology still in its infancy, the world is currently focusing primarily on rechargeable batteries. Here, the capacity screw is increasingly being turned to extend ranges and shorten charging times.

XPeng, Graphano Energy, K+S - The fear of emptiness
There are shortages in all sectors. In addition to the chip shortage, which is affecting the automotive industry, there are also shortages of metal, plastic, and even packaging material for Christmas presents. Even at technology giant Apple, there is concern about whether the all-important final quarter can be spared supply disruptions due to fragile global supply chains. There is no end to this problem in sight in the longer term; on the contrary, the shortage of raw materials due to the energy transition exacerbates this circumstance.

Varta, Graphano Energy, Nel ASA - Who will deliver the super battery?
The race for the most powerful battery stops at many stations. On the one hand, it is about battery efficiency as a basic fact of the climate discussion. On the other hand, many producers wonder where all the battery metals should come from if every second EU citizen switches to e-mobility in the next few years. Neither the charging infrastructure nor resilient batteries are available at the moment, so the whole planning is actually still fraught with a lot of dreaming - nevertheless, the necessary metals are going through the roof in terms of price. The reason is that those sitting on the metals are turning the price screw, even if the actual excess demand will probably only arise in 2-3 years. We are looking at values that are in the middle of the typhoon.
