There’s no denying that we’re not too far away from a policy driven EV adoption wave of massive proportions. All the top global car markets are very much aligned on this:
China - Biggest car market: The Chinese government has implemented a quota system to limit the number of gasoline-powered cars sold in the country.
US - Second biggest car market: This rollout will likely happen state by state (California’s EV mandate is leading the pack). On a federal level, Biden's EPA wants to enact a mandate that will push for two-thirds of all new vehicles to be electric by 2032.
EU - Third biggest car market: The EU has the strictest EV adoption goals with all new cars and vans registered set to be zero emission by 2035.
Japan, Indian, Canada, UK, and 80 more countries are also implementing aggressive EV adoption mandates all set on meeting a 2030 - 2035 deadline.
Like many things macro, the global adoption curve will be initially incremental with a very sharp turn appearing outta nowhere around the halfway point. I’m betting that it will take place around 2027 - 2030. A few things that strengthen this hypothesis:
1. Global relations and supply chain deterioration as a result of regional conflict, brics, etc.
2. Countries are finally investing on sovereign energy assets to mitigate 3rd party risk (Russia, Saudi, etc).
3.Institutional, public and private capital incentives (grants for charging infrastructure, tax perks, etc).
Does that mean that I’m going Yolo on EV automakers? No, not for a while at least - they have a tough hill to climb (R&D costs, retail saturation, infra costs, the list goes on).
I prefer to make calculated plays with ironclad lithium exploration, drilling and refining stocks.The lithium industry is going through an aggressive m&a phase because they know that the majority of all deposits just aren’t viable exploration plays (geographical conundrums, costs, environmental compliance…just too much red tape).
In regards to alternatives like nuclear, thorium, sodium ion, hydrogen are either stuck in bureaucratic quagmires or their just liquidity trap hyped shenanigans.
Anyhow, I’m stacking up on lithium stocks. Do you have any cool lithium plays on your watchlist or portfolio?

无可否认的是,我们距离由政策驱动的大规模电动汽车普及浪潮并不遥远。全球各大汽车市场在此方面已高度一致:
中国——全球最大汽车市场:中国政府已实施配额制度,限制国内汽油车的销售数量。
美国——第二大汽车市场:这一推广可能会逐州进行(加州的电动汽车强制令处于领先地位)。在联邦层面,拜登领导下的环保署希望实施一项强制令,推动到2032年时,新车辆中三分之二为电动汽车。
欧盟——第三大汽车市场:欧盟设定了最严格的电动汽车发展目标,要求到2035年所有新注册的轿车和厢式货车都必须实现零排放。
日本、印度、加拿大、英国以及另外80多个国家也在积极推行电动汽车强制令,以期在2030年至2035年之间达成目标。
如同许多宏观趋势一样,全球电动汽车的普及曲线最初将呈现渐进式增长,在大约中期时会突然出现一个急剧的增长转折点。我预计这个转折点将在2027年至2030年间到来。以下几点支持这一假设:
1.地区冲突、金砖国家等因素导致的全球关系和供应链恶化。
2.各国开始投资主权能源资产以降低第三方风险(如俄罗斯、沙特阿拉伯等国)。
3.来自机构、公共和私人资本的激励措施,包括充电基础设施建设补贴、税收优惠等。
这是否意味着我要对电动汽车制造商进行冲动的投资呢?不,至少在短期内不会——它们还有诸多难关需要克服,比如研发投入成本高、零售市场饱和度、基础设施投入等问题。
我更倾向于对那些有坚实基础的锂矿勘探、钻探和提炼股票进行策略性投资。当前,锂行业正经历一个激烈的并购阶段,因为行业内人士都清楚,大多数锂资源储量由于地理难题、成本问题、环保合规等各种复杂因素(太多的繁文缛节),并不具备实际可行的开采价值。
至于替代方案,如核能、钍能、钠离子电池、氢能源等要么困于官僚主义泥潭,要么仅仅是流动性陷阱炒作。
总之,我正在积极投资锂资源相关的股票。您是否有关注或投资组合中有一些值得关注的锂相关优质股呢?
