(..) In this context, I have asked industrial actors to present their action plans to keep and strengthen this momentum, building on:
- The uptake of electric vehicles: in the first three months of 2020, electric vehicles benefitted from the decline in demand for diesel and petrol vehicles, with their market share rising to 6.8 percent (from 2.5 percent in Q1 2019), mainly thanks to the new CO2 emission targets coming into force;
- The expected production trends: the number of electric vehi models produced across the EU is about to surge from the 98 models currently available to some 214 in 2021;
- Prospects of self-sufficiency in the lithium industry: four sustainable lithium mining projects totalling € 2 billion have been launched in Europe (ES, PT, DE/CZ, DE/FR) and should be in operation by 2022-2024. Their impact will be significant as they are set to meet up to 80 percent of Europe's lithium needs by 2025, thus contributing directly to our strategic autonomy(...).
