EV mass market and Lithium Demand: China is Ready for EVs TNR.v, CZX.v, RM.v, LMR.v, LI.v, WLC.v, CLQ.v, SQM, FMC, ROC, HEV, AONE, VLNC, GM, BYDDY,
"Price competition will drive Electric Cars mass market. Chinese companies will have yet to prove that they can claim auto brand properties, but cost wise they are out of competition. Once thousands of engineers working in China on lithium batteries, safety and design of Electric Cars convert quantity into quality this market will take off in iPod fashion."
GM Volt:
China’s automotive fleet is rapidly expanding. Last year the Chinese market overtook the US to become the world largest automotive market, and sales are expected to continue to expand 55% to 13.55 million passenger vehicles per year by 2015.
The country is currently the third largest consumer of oil in the world with all of Europe a close second and the US number one. As China’s volume of vehicles continue to increase along with economic growth so too will their oil demand. China will pass the US and become the world’s largest oil consumer within a few years and thereafter continue to expand consumption. China is already importing more than 50% of its oil.
Fortunately, there is already great demand among the Chinese population for electric cars. GM plans to sell the Chevrolet Volt there and several Chinese automakers including BYD have already begun to sell electric cars in the country. Nissan is considering selling the LEAF in China as well.
A recent poll performed by Ernst and Young revealed that a shocking 60% of Chinese consumers are interested in purchasing a plug-in car. This is five times the rate in the US or any other country.
The Chinese government has also expressed great interest in promoting plugin cars, to help stave off foreign oil dependence. The government has already designated 20 cities to deploy extensive plugin charging infrastructure, and have set a production goal of 500,000 “new energy” cars by 2015. A massive series of incentives and subsidies to encourage electric car adoption will be announced in July.
Despite all the obvious benefits, one leading Chinese auto executive isn’t so sure this is a good idea.
Huang Xiangdong, who is vice president of Guangzhou Automobile Group Corp that has ventures with Honda, noted that 83% of Chinese electricity is produced by burning coal.
“Battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids do not save more energy than conventional cars on a well-to-wheel analysis,” said Huang. “We think in China it’s not the right time to promote pure electric vehicles.”
While reducing CO2 production is important to some, as in the US, concerns of oil dependence loom large.
“There are broader benefits of electric vehicles, such as reducing the dependence on foreign oil,” Henry Li, general manager of BYD’s auto export trade division.
Irrespective of any naysayers, clearly the Chinese electric automotive market is poised to become extremely large and profitable to automakers who are successful there. As the first foreign firm to get a foothold there, GM has much to benefit from selling electric cars there, and much of the company’s future profit could be tied to it.
“China is currently a larger market by volume than the US,” says GM spokesperson Tom Wilkinson
“It is probably our second or third most important market and growing faster than either the US or Europe,” he says. “In short, it is pretty important.”
So although we’d all like to see the exciting new Chevrolet Volt MP5 concept go on sale in the US, it should be fairly apparent why GM chose to unveil it in China. In fact it was actually produced in partnership with venture partner Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp. Anyway the MPV5 according to GM spokesperson Dave Darovitz “is a concept only.”
“No plans for production,” he adds.

EV mass market: Brussels Outlines Plans for Electric Cars TNR.v, CZX.v, RM.v, LMR.v, WLC.v, LI.v, CLQ.v, SQM, FMC, ROC ORE.ax, ABN.v, HAO.v, HEV, AONE
There are Electric Cars, safe technology for reliable batteries and Lithium availible for them: there is no execuse not to start Electric Mobility revolution today.
EV mass market will be started with standardization for safety and recharging infrastructure for Electric Cars. Hydrogen is lighting years away from mass adoption on cost and needed infrastructure crucial points. All the talk about dirty EVs is the old song from the Oil lobby guys. Electric Car is the only viable alternative to Oil driven CE, which is available today. By the way, every Hydrogen car needs a battery as well. Lithium supply for the batteries is not a question of existence or dependence on anybody's political will, it is available in safe locations and there is no excuse not to advance Electric Cars now. Last events in Europe reminded about the feeling to be Grounded - with ash this time, how the world is going to live with Oil above 150 USD/barrel?

Brussels Outlines Plans for Electric Cars
Saying that cross-border standards for safety and rechargers will be critical to the success of electric vehicles, the European Commission has laid out a timetable
By Leigh Phillips
The European Commission on Wednesday (28 April) outlined a plan to get electric cars off the drawing board and onto the streets of Europe.
Central to the EU's plan for shifting away from the internal combustion engine is developing a series of European standards that everyone will adhere to.
"Without strong standardisation work, I think it will be difficult to develop a market for electric cars," said industry commissioner Antonio Tajani.
"These aren't just curiosities in motor shows any more. They are being keenly awaited by European citizens. It's important for citizens to be able to cross borders and still charge their cars."
Ensuring that there is a standardised charger is core to the strategy. Brussels does not want citizens to be as frustrated with their green vehicle as they are with a hair dryer in a foreign hotel when they've forgotten to buy an adapter.
The commission hopes to have electrical safety standards outlined by the end of 2010.
Then, next year, standards for the recharging of cars will be developed, and the following year, 2012, the commission wants to analyse the risks involved when such cars are involved in collisions.
The commission believes that hydrogen fuel-cell cars are one of "most promising options."
Responding to the plan announced today, Ian Williamson, the vice-chair of the UK Hydrogen Association said he was pleased with the strategy: "Hydrogen battery hybrid vehicles will be key to creating a low carbon transport infrastructure throughout Europe because, unlike pure electric vehicles, they offer consumers the same range, speed and fuelling times of conventional vehicles."
Green groups cautiously welcomed the news while underscoring that electric cars are only truly green if the electricity used comes from genuinely renewable sources. If the electricity is coming from coal-fired power plants, for example, this is just pushing the carbon emissions away from the vehicle but not tackling the root of the problem, they say.
"The Commission hasn't addressed two of the most critical issues, namely ensuring that the extra electricity needed will boost renewable sources and the need for smart meters in every vehicle to keep track of consumption and the carbon intensity of electricity," said Jos Dings, director of Transport & Environment, a green transit NGO.
"These two issues will be critical to ensuring that electric cars actually reduce emissions."

Argentina & Mining 101: Los Azules mining plan. TNR.v, CZX.v, MAI.to, ABX, FCX, RTP, BHP, LUN.to, AUY, BVN, FXI, HUI, XAU,
"TNR Gold Corp. has entered into a letter agreement with Cricket Capital Corp. on the Company's 100% owned Forgan Lake property located 125km northeast of Thunder Bay, OntarioIn addition, the Company has commenced drilling at the Mariana Lithium brine project in Argentina, and it has increased its land position in Nevada to 5,285 hectares through staking and has commenced a geophysical program on its Mud Lake project, Nye County, Nevada. The Company proposed to waive the production of a feasibility study and exercise its right to acquire 25% of the northern half of the properties for Minera Andes' Los Azules Project in Argentina.
TNR established June 8, 2010 as a date of the meeting date for shareholder approval of the previously announced spin-out of TNR's lithium and rare metals assets into its wholly-owned subsidiary, International Lithium Corp. TNR shareholders of record on the date of the spinout, planned for late June or early July, will receive one share and one fully tradable warrant of International Lithium Corp. for every 4 shares of TNR."
We have a position in this company, please, do not consider anything as an investment advise, as usual, on this blog.
Argentina & Mining 101:
With a grass roots projects developing into a resource, and advancing to pre-feasibility reports and eventual production, it's a good idea to understand what's involved in a mining project.
1. The pit (ore body open pit)(see left image)Congrats, you found high grade % copper, now what?The ideal scenario involves digging a humongous hole in the ground, via a systematic earth removal process such that you create the leftover open pit as shown on the left.
2. Transport the Ore (heavy rocks)Ore, unprocessed, is worth very little. Naturally, you'd have your precious gold or copper mixed with ordinary rocks and other byproducts. The idea here is to minimize the distance you have to transport these to your processing belt or factory, so you can start crushing and filtering out the valuable bits!As you can see driving heavy duty 500 tonne trucks up these large pits can be quite costly on gas!
3. Start refining your ore Once you have the ore at your factory it's time to fire up the conveyor belt. Crushing, refining, leaching, are all typical ways to separate your high grade minerals from the low-grade rocks. Do this well enough and you should be able to retain 90%+ of your estimated resource from raw ore - that is to say you don't waste too much in the way of getting rid of minerals within the ore during the separation process! From there it goes through several steps of refinement until you reach a sellable end product for your customers - usually in forms of molly, raw mineral products, and in some cases finished pellets for melting into final products.
4. Disposal of waste and tailingsWait, you think the government and environmental agencies will let you leave a big hole with waste rocks lying around after you extract the valuable minerals? Not quite! Tailings (also known as slimes, tailings pile, tails, leach residue, or slickens[1]) are the materials left over[2] after the process of separating the valuable fraction from the worthless fraction (gangue) of an ore. To properly dispose of these tailings (often still riddled with chemicals from acid leaching and chemical separation processes), significant efforts are put in to make sure environmental impacts are minimized. Some would argue, tailings and waste process facilities are the single biggest economic barriers to a mine being successful. Further, you'd want to have a site nearby (ideally downhill) where you can, for a low cost, get rid of your tailings and pile them up for isolation processing later..."
