Standard Lithium, Manganese X Energy, Daimler Truck - The future of the battery
Electric cars would never have existed with the conventional lead-acid batteries popularly used in remote controls and the like. The development only became possible with the invention of lithium-ion batteries, which can be charged much more often and thus significantly increase battery life. The advantage of electric mobility is emission-free driving. The disadvantage is longer refueling times, shorter range and the need for lithium and other rare raw materials, such as manganese. It is precisely the batteries that make electromobility so expensive. It is not for nothing that Tesla is trying to push the price down to under USD 100 per kilowatt-hour. Experts expect that the prices of internal combustion and e-cars will then converge.

Tesla, Altech Advanced Materials, BYD - The battle for the battery of the future
Since climate change has become the focus of public attention, the goal of many countries is to reduce emissions. The transportation sector is the second-largest CO2 emitter; this includes motor vehicles. E-cars still cost significantly more than the conventional combustion engine because their batteries are still so expensive. Called out are costs under USD 100 per kilowatt-hour to bring the two vehicles together in price. Many different battery manufacturers are trying to improve the battery. Ideally, more energy can be stored, promising more range, the lifespan should be increased, and the batteries should become safer. Today, we look at three companies that have already made it a good bit of the way.

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, Manganese X Energy, Daimler - Enormous demand for Tesla, BYD and NIO
Temporary inflation is history and has been laid to rest by FED chief Jerome Powell. During his appearance before the US Congress last week, he said the time had now come to remove the word "temporary" from the vocabulary of the monetary guardians. With inflation at 6.8% in November and the sharpest rise in US inflation in nearly 40 years, even the greatest optimist assumes a permanent state of rising prices. Among the culprits are commodities such as copper. These are likely to see a further increase due to the energy transition.

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.

Varta, Manganese X Energy, Nordex, Siemens Energy: This could be a crash à la Tesla!
Climate protection, green energy & mobility and digital infrastructure were the hype topics of the bull market year 2021. Price developments like in the current year were last seen during the 2000 tech bubble. Higher, bigger, faster, further - the Olympic concert consistently brought double- to triple-digit price gains until the US Thanksgiving, some shares from the hydrogen sector even managed the magic 1000% hurdle. Now, however, inflation rates have risen sharply in parallel, and the virus, which had fallen into the background, is suddenly on everyone's lips again in a highly contagious variant called Omicron. How the stock markets will deal with this issue remains to be seen. We take a look at well-known protagonists from the green energy sector.

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.

Orocobre, Manganese X Energy, First Cobalt - Indispensable companies for the energy turnaround
The 21st century will go down in history as the "electric century." While the 19th century was dominated by the steam engine and the 20th century by internal combustion engines, the climatic changes that we have helped to cause by burning fossil fuels are forcing us to rethink. Among other things, the focus is on the efficient storage of electrical energy produced without emissions. According to current research, certain raw materials will be indispensable for this purpose, including lithium, manganese and cobalt in addition to copper, silver and gold.
