Ann: KfW IPEX-Bank Mandated for Epanko Debt Funding, page-104

Momentum is gathering, I also predicted a faster reaction from EU and ROW...but it didn't happen, however, it's well on its way now...we just need to understand that it takes time to get all the necessary parts to start moving...that's why I think KNL's approach is very realistic, future demand will be enormous, but it will take time...you are correct, Merkel had to force an alliance to be formed, but that just happened now...it will take 1-2 years for the new facility to be in full swing, and it doesn't really work on solving the 'real problem' which is the actual cell production, which I understand will not be done in the proposed battery plant, so to date Chine, Japan and Korea will remain the epicentre for cell production = the main user of Battery Minerals...but I am convinced Germany/Eu's next announcement will be an investment in very large 'cell production' facilities which will ensure self sufficiency and security of critial supplies once the EV/Storage uptake staarts their ver steep climb whn the exponential effect starts to ripp rough everything...not far off now...we have another very desireable EV coming on market this year...VW an Audi are next.

The first batch of Mercedes-Benz EQC vehicles are set to land Down Under around October, with final pricing and specifications to be announced closer to launch.It's understood the new EV will cost around the $150,000 mark, with Australia's initial allocation for 2019 already spoken for well before the EQC officially goes on sale. --- and that's for $150k cars...looking forward to VW releasing their mass-produced Golf at affordable prices...the change over will be very swift..the ones who have driven an EV will know what I mean. And YES, subsidies from Germany EU will assist EcoGraf greaty...not long to go.
