25% of new cars in Europe will be electric cars in 2025

SMM: it is reported that a study by the German Automotive Research Center Camnitz Automotive Research Institute (CATI) pointed out that by 2025, 1/4 of the cars produced in Europe will be pure electric vehicles.

Over the next five years, European car factories will produce more than 2 million electric vehicles, more than half of which will be made in Germany, which is a leader in European car manufacturing. At present, the proportion of registered electric vehicles in Germany has reached about 4%. Although the epidemic has brought some obstacles to the development of electric vehicles, the German government still hopes to put 10 million electric vehicles on the road by 2030.

European media reported: "in 2019, 17 factories in eight European countries produced a total of about 276500 electric vehicles." Researchers say electric vehicle capacity at 35 factories in 11 European countries will be twice as high in 2022 as in 2019. By 2025, Germany alone will produce 1.1 million electric vehicles a year. "

In order to promote electric vehicles, the Scottish government will include second-hand electric vehicles in the scope of low-carbon travel loans for the first time from September 28. After the expansion, individuals or companies can get an interest-free loan of up to 20,000 pounds for up to five years when buying second-hand electric cars.

The Scottish government has expanded the scope of interest-free loans to help consumers who want to buy electric cars but feel they are overpriced.

The loan, which will be made available to consumers through an "energy efficiency trust fund", will allow individuals and businesses to enjoy lower travel costs than gasoline and diesel cars, while supporting Scotland's zero-emission target. So far, Scotland has provided 85 million pounds in loans to help people give up fuel cars and switch to electric cars.

On September 8th, Core Lithium has produced first spodumene concentrate from the recommissioned Finniss processing plant in the Northern Territory, marking a milestone in the company's staged restart of the operation. Core Lithium restarted mining at the Grants openpit in May and recommissioned the crushing circuit in August to build sufficient crushed ore stockpiles for processing. First concentrate was achieved within six months of the company's final investment decision to proceed with the Finniss restart. The company has undertaken targeted upgrades to debottleneck the processing circuit and optimise recoveries, including screen refurbishments, rolls crusher enhancements and improvements to the ferrosilicon distribution system. Crushing and dense media separation operations have been consolidated into a single control room. These upgrades are expected to increase plant throughput capacity by about 20% to 1.2 million t/y. Finniss began initial spodumene concentrate production in February 2023 before being placed on care and maintenance in mid-2024 amid a downturn in lithium prices. The project has since been repositioned as a lower-cost, long-life operation with a 20-year mine life and average production of 214,000 t/y. Finniss is the only major hard-rock lithium mine operating outside of Western Australia.
