THE IMPLICATIONS

If global demand suddenly flipped in this fashion, here’s what would happen:

	Material	Demand increase	Notes
1	Lithium	2,898%	Needed in all lithium-ion batteries
2	Cobalt	1,928%	Used in the Bolt's NMC cathode
3	Rare Earths	655%	Bolt uses neodymium in permanent magnet motor
4	Graphite	524%	Used in the anode of lithium-ion batteries
5	Nickel	105%	Used in the Bolt's NMC cathode
6	Copper	22%	Used in permanent magnet motor and wiring
7	Manganese	14%	Used in the Bolt's NMC cathode
8	Aluminum	13%	Used to reduce weight of vehicle
9	Silicon	0%	Bolt uses 6-10x more semiconductors
10	Steel	-1%	Uses 7% less steel, but fairly minimal impact on market
11	PGMs	-53%	Catalytic converters not needed in EVs
