Smaller cars could ease the demand for battery materials such as cobalt, lithium, nickel and manganese by almost a quarter, according to the Transport & Environment think tank

A green transport organization has alerted that the trend for cars with greater weight is boosting the call for metals required in electric car batteries.

Transport & Environment, a thinktank, has suggested that a reduction in the size of cars could reduce the predicted requirement for battery resources, such as cobalt, lithium, nickel and manganese, by up to a fourth. They are advocating for the UK government to impose a taxation system based on weight for the heaviest cars and the largest models, as well as introducing tax incentives for small electric vehicles.
