EVs to drive Cu demand by more than 500,000 tonne by 2027

摘要

New research from the International Copper Association (ICA) has revealed that the rising number of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) will drive a total copper demand of 560,000 tonne of copper through to 2027. New demand for PEVs will also see an increase to 102,000 tonne due to the "crucial role" that copper will continue to play in port charging cables and units, and wiring to electrical panels.
