Abstract: Rising demand for electric vehicles (EVs) is changing the geopolitical landscape, as the world pivots away from fossil fuels towards the green minerals critical to the EV supply chain. Benjamin Jones, Viet Nguyen-Tien, Robert Elliott and Gavin Harper explain how the race to secure the supply of raw materials needed for EV batteries is creating new opportunities and geopolitical risks.
