Developments in HEV/EVs have thrust lithium and graphite into the spotlight with the focus on how future generations of battery technology will satisfy automotive growth. At the same time potential supply-side constraints are also raising a question-mark over where new sources of supply for lithium, graphite and other materials will be sourced and how high prices can go?

This 1½ day conference will look at the vital role these two materials are playing in the development of battery technology in the automotive sector for HEV/EV vehicles. As a major lithium battery producer, China plays a major global role and is leading lithium consumption.
