石油设备网讯 据今日油价网站4月8日消息 美国正寻求制定一项开发锂等关键矿产的战略，以促进电动汽车（EVs）的国内供应，并减少对锂进口的依赖，特别是从中国进口的锂。
据路透社报道，据知情人士透露，美国政府官员预计将于下月初会见汽车制造商和锂矿业公司的高级管理人员，可能启动一项美国国家战略，以促进美国锂加工设施的发展。
据两位消息人士透露，美国参议员以及美国国务院、内政部、能源部和美国地质调查局的官员计划出席定于5月初举行的会议。
锂是电动汽车制造商的关键矿物，从特斯拉到所有的传统汽车制造商，他们都在努力进入电动汽车市场。
美国占有全球锂离子电池生产市场的5%左右，中国占全球锂离子电池生产市场的近三分之二。据路透社援引的基准矿物情报公司的数据，中国也是世界上大多数锂加工厂的所在地。
彭博新能源财经首席编辑Angus McCrone今年早些时候在一篇文章中写道，2019年1月，全球有近500万辆电动汽车上路。McCrone表示，中国将继续是今年销量的领头羊，约150万辆电动汽车的销量占全球市场的57%左右。
惠誉评级表示：“我们预计，全球最大的电动汽车市场的需求将得到越来越具吸引力的产品供应以及更广泛的乘用车商业用途的支持，此外第二季度还可能产生“推动”效应。”

U.S. Looks To Create National EVs Supply Chain Strategy
The United States is looking to create a strategy for developing critical minerals such as lithium in a bid to bolster domestic supply for electric vehicles (EVs) and lessen dependence on lithium imports, especially from China.
Early next month, U.S. government officials are expected to meet with senior managers from carmakers and lithium mining companies to possibly launch a U.S. national strategy for boosting American processing facilities of lithium, Reuters reports, citing sources familiar with the plans.
According to two of the sources, U.S. Senators, as well as officials from the Department of State, Department of the Interior, Department of Energy, and the U.S. Geological Survey plan to attend the meeting scheduled to take place in early May.
Lithium is the key mineral for the EV makers from Tesla to all the legacy automakers who are venturing en masse into the EV market.
The U.S. holds around 5 percent of the global market of lithium-ion battery production, which is dominated by China with a share of almost two-thirds. China is also home to most of the lithium processing factories in the world, according to data from Benchmark Minerals Intelligence, cited by Reuters.
In January 2019, there were nearly 5 million passenger EVs on the road globally, Angus McCrone, Chief Editor at BloombergNEF (BNEF), wrote in an article earlier this year. China will continue to be the leader in terms of volumes sold this year, with some 1.5 million of EV sales, accounting for around 57 percent of the global market, McCrone said.
“We expect demand in the world’s largest EV market to be supported by increasingly attractive product offerings, as well as wider commercial use of passenger EVs, in addition to a potential "pull-forward" effect in 2Q19,” Fitch Ratings said.
