China EV materials supply chain shifts, with scrapped cars and used batteries seen as key resources by 2050

While EV adoption boosts new mineral demand, the analysis says end-of-life vehicles and batteries could become major sources of battery and motor materials over coming decades. The outlook varies by material, and depends on technology shifts, policy and how quickly collection and recycling systems are built.
