Roland Berger consultant Wolfgang Bernhart is skeptical that lithium, copper, nickel and other resources will be available in sufficient quantities to enable the enormous ambitions of European car companies to abandon the ICE as quickly as possible and transition towards batteries.
International competitiveness ranking e-vehicles. Europe wins with numbers, China in price, South-Korea in battery technology.
