Electric Cars Needs Lithium-Import Prius
SUMMARY

Watching on TV the financial news of this week-end, I came across very interesting metal that is attracting lot of attention from high corporates and governments. It was very informative and made me realize to find the right words for my readers and share. Just to be sure that they find answers to some important facts un-revealed about next generation cars and vehicles which will need re-chargeable lithium ion power supply.

Japan is working very hard to reduce Co2 emission by 25% by the year 2020. This challenge has been internationally praised and received a great applaud.

Importance of Lithium
Our lives have changed very fast during the last 10 to 15 years, and a tiny problem or invention or news from the remote corner gets same attention as from the main focus points .Do you know about the importance of Lithium? We are enjoying the slim cellular phones, which are the tiniest toys of communications while we are mobile. The battery power is Lithium rechargeable. Thereis about 50% of Lithium reserves found in South America, which is the new target for the progressive countries like Japan, France and Germany.

Quest for Lithium

Japanese companies like Mitsubishi Sumitomo and European and North American companies are establishing their feet in Lithium rich Bolivia. President Morales of Bolivia will become as the next top man on the cover of Forbes top 100 richest men of the year 2011 OR on the cover page of Newsweek as a title of “Shiekh of South America”. Japanese are helping the community around the area of production and have not just targeted the riches under the barren white deserts. Washington is also trying hard to ease up the tensions with Morales government, all part and parcel to help Govt. owned Auto makers of USA. France is also very active and trying to gain an edge over other European automobile makers.
Usage of Lithium

As far the Lithium’s prime & industrial usage is future electric cars, since Lithium will be 100% utilized for next generation electric autos, and partly used in hybrids. Germany has also shifted to Hybrid technology and have announced their first Benz S-Class (long sedan) hybrid with a price tag of JPY 14Million . Toyota hybrids are increasing at a fast pace too. All these hybrids are too relying on lithium ion charged batteries.

Reserves of Lithium

Japan has shifted their concentration towards other lithium reserves before 2 years. Since China is the biggest producer of Lithium, and now China is actively testing their own hybrids and electric vehicles, this makes China reluctant to export huge quantities of raw Lithium. Bolivia still ranks as top among the rivals and Bolivia might have even more lithium at Uyuni and its other salt deserts, though high altitudes and the quality of the reserves could make access to the mineral difficult. 4,000 meters above sea-level are most of the reserves out of total 6.5Million tons. China is also sitting on a stock of about 2M. tons over the salt desert in Tibet mountains.If the reserves are found above 3,000Meter of sea level, then why are they not explored at other places. Afghanistan or Pakistan might be having some reserves too, or maybe the stability is under-question for such countries. Let us ask ourselves not these self proclaimed Global Champions and leaders who are still not having 100% transparency with the masses.

Next Dimensions

As seen on TV commercial from Fujitsu “Possibilities are infinite”, we can feel around us about the changing trends. Recently Bill Gates who is more active with Gates foundation than Microsoft was visiting Japan and was seemed to be quite interested in Power producing Plants by burning Uranium or in simple words Nuclear Reactor Technology.
