EV ADOPTION WILL FUEL LITHIUM DEMAND
• Global lithium demand increased 15% year-on-year
to 212,000 tonnes LCE in 2016.1
• UBS estimates that Lithium demand could
potentially increase by a factor of 25x assuming
100% of all vehicles sold globally would be
Chevrolet Bolts (a battery electric vehicle), instead
of today’s vehicle sales mix.

Notes:
1. Per research report by Deutsche Bank dated March 6, 2017.
2. Lithium demand estimated internally based upon incremental Lithium demand projected for 100% EV penetration. Assumes only BEVs are sold.
3. LCE required for Chevy Bolt estimated based upon Lithium comprising 2% of total battery pack weight of 436 kg. Converted to LCE by multiplying by 5.3.
