Electric vehicles - the raw materials

Electric vehicles are at the heart of the clean energy transition.  But as prices reduce and manufacturers increase their model line ups where are the raw materials needed to produce rapidly increasing volumes of EVs going to come from?

This is the key question that this film, presented by Professor Iain Stewart, and commissioned by SRK Consulting seeks to address. 

The film aims to raise public awareness of the positive role geologists, geoscience, and in particular, mining of metals and other raw materials, will play in the transition from fossil fuel to electric vehicles. 

We love the video. The (patient) RWV team gave artistic direction and relevance to our ideas and really brought them to life in a way we didn’t expect.
