Nel ASA, Power Nickel, Varta - Positioning for the price explosion
In the last two years of the pandemic, both private households and commercial enterprises felt the impact of blown supply chains, from chip shortages to lack of lumber, to packaging materials. Extreme consumption is also taking place due to the ambitious achievement of climate targets. Electromobility is gobbling up enormous resources of key raw materials such as copper, lithium and nickel. Due to the significantly increasing demand for batteries, the demand for nickel is expected to continue to rise strongly in the coming years.

BYD, Phoenix Copper, Freeport-McMoRan - The supercycle is on
Inflation has risen again in the US, posting its highest level since February 1982 at 7.5%. Experts do not yet see any easing in the face of high energy and commodity prices. On the contrary, the inflationary spiral continues to spin and is being further fueled by policymakers' increasingly ambitious climate neutrality targets. Here, especially the required materials such as copper, lithium and cobalt could multiply. Due to high demand and low supply, further bottlenecks, delays in supply chains and thus rising prices are only a matter of time. Profit from it.

1000% possible: Varta, Standard Lithium, Power Nickel: The super battery is coming!
In view of advanced stock market valuations, rising inflation and disrupted supply chains, many market participants wonder whether the 1000% is possible in 2022. It is! Because right now, there are many young companies with revolutionary approaches to solving the climate crisis. Innovation and fortune are needed here to launch the ultimate solution to our future problems at the right time. Battery technology remains a good starting point because the issues of range, service life, and recycling have not yet been satisfactorily resolved. Maybe the tenbagger is among the following 3 companies?

Varta, Nel ASA, Almonty Industries: Get in now?
The electric car is currently outpacing the combustion engine: around 350,000 pure e-cars were registered in Germany alone in 2021. According to the Center of Automotive Management (CAM), this means that the market share has almost doubled to 13% in one year. Germany is now the third-largest single market for pure electric vehicles after China and the United States. However, according to CAM, China is ahead with around 2.7 million electric vehicles. Nevertheless, due to global subsidies, the trend toward electromobility will continue, creating opportunities for investors. The winners in electromobility include battery and raw material producers such as Varta and Almonty Industries. Demand for hydrogen - and therefore Nel - will also increase. All three stocks have lost significant ground. But there are positive developments. Is it worth getting in now?

BYD, Altech Advanced Materials, Standard Lithium - Battle for pole position
Germany is not the only country where the energy turnaround is at the top of the political agenda. Achieving climate neutrality in the transport sector by 2045 is a particular challenge. After all, according to the Federal Environment Agency, the sector is responsible for around 20% of total greenhouse gas emissions. In the passenger car sector, both the automotive industry and politicians are focusing on battery technology. As a result, a battle has broken out between electric car manufacturers for the longest ranges and shortest charging times. Young companies with innovative technologies are flocking to the market and could become the new stock market stars soon.

BYD, Altech Advanced Materials, Volkswagen: Who is as innovative as Tesla?
For years, e-cars lagged behind conventional drives in many areas: The ranges were significantly lower, and comfort remained inferior to classic combustion engines. In the meantime, however, things have changed. Chinese manufacturers, in particular, are scoring points with ranges of 1,000 km. Modern e-cars have also long been packed with gadgets that make the hearts of tech-savvy car enthusiasts beat faster. Does this mean that the development of e-cars is at an end? Not at all! We present three companies from the industry and analyze their innovative strength.

Nvidia, BrainChip, Daimler, Infineon - Not only Tesla can build e-cars!
Intelligent and powerful chips remain in demand like road salt in the depths of winter. The supply chains are still struggling, and the scarce raw materials are increasing the cost prices. As a result, prices for high-tech materials will continue to skyrocket in the new year. The car manufacturers will probably be hit hardest, as it will not be possible to raise prices at will, especially in Europe, because of foreign competition. Innovation could be an effective means of combating the erosion of margins. We present a few innovative ideas for investors.

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?
