I made some calculations this morning regarding the EV car sales and estimates and it looks great for Li sector:

	Column 1	Column 2	Column 3	Column 4	Column 5
0	Year	Cars/Year	LCE kg/car	LCE t/year
1	2017	1,250,000	50	62,500	t LCE
2	2018	2,000,000	50	100,000	t LCE
3	2019	3,000,000	50	150,000	t LCE
4	2020	4,250,000	50	212,500	t LCE
5	2021	5,750,000	50	287,500	t LCE
6	2022	7,500,000	50	375,000	t LCE
7	2023	9,500,000	50	475,000	t LCE
8	2024	11,750,000	50	587,500	t LCE
9	2025	14,250,000	50	712,500	t LCE

The numbers at the start of the table (2017 and 2018) are based on the latest released numbers and the fact that we just reached 4mil cars and the last million was done in last 6 months with the previous one in 8 months.

Few other sources matching my calculations as well:
