....With exception of China (being the outlier), EV sales are contracting across brands and geography outside of China.
....Contracting means negative growth.
....This even before a recession.
.....Winter hibernation for EV/Lithium will be protracted.
... as I stated, my confidence is greater than we would see a market correction before we see an EV/Lithium turnaround.

Hyundai Motor Company's global vehicle sales, including the Hyundai and Genesis brands, were down more than 6% year-over-year in June. The end result of 351,516 sales dragged first-half sales about 0.9% compared to the same period last year. Meanwhile, despite strong U.S. sales, Hyundai's EV game is down by double digits globally.
It's a challenging time for the South Korean manufacturer, which noted a significant decrease in all-electric and plug-in hybrid car sales. June was the eighth consecutive month of year-over-year decline. This is despite the global EV market expanding, albeit unevenly and hampered by things like high interest rates and tough competition from Chinese brands in certain markets.

Hyundai EV sales decreased by 30% in H1 2024
All major Hyundai electric cars noted a decrease in sales during the first half of the year. The manufacturer intends to boost its results with the upcoming affordable Inster (aka Casper EV) model.
Last month, Hyundai and Genesis plug-in cars' combined wholesale shipments, which are closely related to production, amounted to 21,028, down 34% year-over-year. That figure includes retail sales in South Korea plus overseas sales, based on wholesales at the manufacturer level. (Both are unaudited and preliminary.) We estimate that the volume represents about 6.0% of the automaker's total sales volume compared to 8.5% a year ago.
The wholesale volume of all-electric cars decreased by 34% to 17,217, including 16,193 Hyundai, down 34% year-over-year, and 1,024 Genesis, down 33% year-over-year. The company reports that its global all-electric car sales exceeded 18,000, which was slightly higher than the wholesales.

Meanwhile, plug-in hybrid car volume decreased at a similar rate as all-electric car volume. It amounted to 3,811 and was down 34% year-over-year. Hydrogen fuel cell sales have been down for 15 straight months and for two months do not include any exports.
