The long-term projections for nickel demand are extremely exciting. A solid growth driver of demand is stainless steel. From 2006-2018, quantities of nickel use were 683,000t in stainless steel, 103,000t in batteries and 105,000t for other uses. The EV revolution looks set to transform these numbers, with 2018-2030 demand looking like 729,000t in stainless steel, a 46,000t increase; 825,000 in batteries, a massive 722,000t increase; and 119,000t for other uses, a 14,000t increase. Batteries are now a game-changing second driver for the nickel space, and nickel's status as the largest metal by mass in the cathodes of EV batteries is sure to be instrumental.

We also run through the importance of Indonesia, particularly the nickel-ore export ban. Then, it's on to general red flags that investors need to watch out for when investing in nickel. It's important viewing for EV/nickel investors/spectators.
