Australia is key to averting an electric vehicle battery crisis, Tesla Chair says. Robyn Denholm believes the country needs more processing and manufacturing capacity to help the world meet the growing demand for batteries.
Tesla chair, Robyn Denholm, spoke at the Australian Clean Energy Summit in Sydney, where she talked about the company and the electric vehicle market in general. She said that Australia, as a lithium powerhouse, needs more refining and manufacturing capacity to help the world meet the growing demand for batteries.
Denholm said that Australia has huge mineral reserves, but it accounts for only 7% of refined lithium supplies. The country can do more to use its advantages to develop the production of special materials, batteries, and electric vehicles. “Australia has the minerals—not just lithium—and also the know-how and many of the skills to capture the opportunity of this new energy era,” she said.
