We recently read a story that shows how copper production can be combined with battery metals such as cobalt and lithium to manufacture electric vehicles. An article on the business website The Street points out how crucial copper is to these type of projects. The copper is used not only as wiring for hybrids and pure EVs, but it’s also used to create charging stations for the cars. In addition, copper is also 100% recyclable, yet another boon to the environment.
