Electric vehicles (EVs) have brought big-time attention to the global aluminium industry. Each EV uses about 250 kg of aluminium worldwide on average. The EV sector is very much for metal aluminium since it is not only one of the most affordable materials but also one of the lightest. It helps lower the structure's overall weight while preserving strength. For instance, the Tesla car models use about 200 kg of aluminium to keep their overall weight under 2,000 kg.
AlCircle’s latest industry-focused report, ‘Global Aluminium Industry Outlook 2023’, unveils that the transportation will be one of the key sectors to drive of the demand for aluminium and EVs to play a significant role in it.
According to Honda, their key hub for the production of electric vehicles will be their North American manufacturing facility. A number of new electric car models are planned to arrive in China in the meanwhile, including the e:NS2 and e:NP2, which are scheduled to go on sale in early 2024. The e:N SUV concept will also be available in a commercial version by the end of 2024. By 2027, Honda intends to introduce a further seven electrified vehicles.
