SFA (Oxford) is delighted to invite you to this year's Oxford Battery Metals Lectures
SFA (Oxford) is delighted to have key players join us including SQM, BASF, CATL, Porsche Consulting, BMW/MINI and EV Volumes to explore the growing pressure for the EV supply chain to innovate.
Environmental and political pressures, as well as consumer expectations of cheaper cars, faster charging, and longer range are forcing changes in mining methods, battery technologies, and manufacturing processes; creating a rapidly-evolving EV supply chain. Significant investment in battery technologies, enhancing efficiency and energy density, is impacting the EV adoption curve as EVs become increasingly attractive options for consumers, further intensifying the evolving nature of the supply chain.
Our expert speakers will address the key questions facing the rapidly-evolving battery metals value chain:
- According to SQM, one of the world’s largest and lowest cost lithium suppliers, how much can we expect supplies to grow?
- Can we successfully apply new extraction technologies to limit water use?
- What is the future of EV batteries according to the world’s biggest battery maker, CATL?
- How do cathode material suppliers BASF balance the requirements of OEMs and supplies?
- Assuming we commercialise solid-state batteries, what is Porsche Consulting’s perspective?
- What is their potential impact on raw material supply chains?
- What challenges do OEMs face when convincing consumers?
- What strategies does MINI implement to accelerate EV adoption?
- What do EV Volumes expect for EV sales in future considering slowing sales growth?
- How important is battery recycling going to be?
Providing detailed insights across the battery metals supply chain, this event is unique; and at just £250 for in-person attendance and group discounts available, it is a must-attend for industry professionals across the EV and battery metals supply chains.
