South Korean automobile parts maker Hyundai Mobis has begun constructing a new electric vehicle (EV) battery system plant in the Deltamas industrial complex near Indonesia's capital Jakarta.

The plant will turn battery cells that will be supplied by HLI Green Power — a joint venture between South Korean conglomerate Hyundai and battery manufacturer LG Energy Solution in Indonesia — into modules that can be supplied to global automakers as their large battery systems. Hyundai Mobis is planning to supply the battery systems to "flagship EV models" that will be released in southeast Asia next year, according to its announcement on 1 June.

The plant is likely to be completed in the first half of 2024. Hyundai Mobis did not disclose the output capacity of the plant.

Hyundai last year said that it planned to invest around $2.23-3bn (2.95trillion-3.97trillion South Korean won) to develop semiconductors, software and autonomous driving products through its subsidiary Hyundai Mobis.

Japan’s SMM eyes Li-ion battery recycling plant by 2026

Japan’s SMM eyes Li-ion battery recycling plant by 2026

Tokyo, 28 March (Argus) — Japanese battery cathode producer Sumitomo Metal Mining (SMM) plans to set up a lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery recycling plant in western Japan's Ehime prefecture by June 2026. The recycling plant is expected to have a processing capacity of around 6,000-7,000 t/yr of black mass, equivalent to batteries for around 60,000 electric vehicles, a company representative told Argus on 28 March. Black mass is the shredded remains of cathode materials such as nickel, cobalt and lithium. The company will start construction sometime during March-April 2025, but the timing for commercial operations was undisclosed. SMM has also entered into a partnership with nine domestic recycling partners to build a supply chain for collecting used Li-ion batteries, the company representative added. SMM produced cathodes using nickel and cobalt from recycled Li-ion batteries in June 2023. Domestic battery producer Prime Earth EV Energy proved the quality of SMM's used cathodes in performance testing. The recycled ratio of nickel and cobalt used in the test was more than 6pc and 16pc respectively. This exceeds the standard rates that EU battery regulations tentatively set as minimum recycling requirements for each material, a SMM representative previously told Argus . The EU regulation is expected to take effect from 2031 after approvals by member countries. By Yusuke Maekawa Send comments and request more information at feedback@argusmedia.com Copyright © 2024.

Chinese EVs to make up 25pc of EU market: T&E

London, 27 March (Argus) — Chinese-produced electric vehicles (EVs) are due to make up 25pc of new EV sales in Europe this year, according to campaign group Transport & Environment (T&E), which recommends that tariffs on Chinese EVs be imposed to help EU carmakers survive in the short term. Almost a fifth (19.5pc) of all EVs sold in Europe last year were produced in China, or around 300,000 units. The main brand for Chinese-made EVs was Tesla, at 28pc of total sales, with Renault's Dacia brand second at 20pc. While they are not Chinese brands, they have factories in China, which has a much higher installed battery capacity than Europe. Chinese brands were also on the rise, up from 0.4pc of Europe's EV market in 2019 to 7.9pc in 2023, owing to the strength of brands such as BYD. T&E forecasts BYD and others could reach up to 20pc of the European EV market by 2027. The campaign group said tariffs would be needed in the short term to protect EU carmakers from a deluge of Chinese vehicles and focus energy on electrification, which will ultimately be needed for them to survive the energy transition. Tariffs on Chinese vehicles sit at 10pc today, but T&E says 25pc would be more appropriate, given prices for Chinese made EVs continue to fall. Tariffs on EU battery cell imports are also weak compared with the rest of the world, sitting at 1.3pc compared with 10.9pc in the US and 10pc in China. "Tariffs will force carmakers to localise EV production in Europe, and that's a good thing because we want these jobs and skills," T&E senior director for vehicles and emobility Julia Polisanova said. "But tariffs won't shield legacy carmakers for long. Chinese companies will build factories in Europe and when that happens our car industry needs to be ready." Chinese investment in European factories gathers pace While imports from China are growing, foreign direct investment from Chinese battery majors into the EU market is also gathering pace. China's CATL, the world's largest battery maker, will have two of Europe's largest gigafactories by the end of the decade in Hungary and Germany. By 2025, Chinese investments are expected to produce over 214GWh of batteries in Europe, over three times Europe's total 2022 battery capacity, according to analysis by the China Project, a US-based China focused think-tank. Negotiations around a new Chinese-backed factory in the UK in partnership with EVE Energy represent the latest in a string of investments in Europe and has made UK market participants uncomfortable. "It is reassuring to see more investment in the UK's battery supply chain, this will help Britain to maintain a viable automotive industry in the future and build on the needed battery technologies," Volta Energy Technologies head of European operations James Frith said. "However, it is notable that it is once again an overseas company, adding to investments by India's Tata group, which own Agratas, and China's Envision Group, which owns AESC." Frith called on the UK government to support more homegrown projects, especially as the only domestically owned battery project in the UK, Britishvolt, failed last year. Other market participants were more comfortable with Chinese investment, highlighting the fact that the UK, to meet EU Rules of Origin legislation in 2027, needs all the domestic production it can get and is in a unique situation. "Importantly, domestic built batteries will help ensure the 2027 EU Rules of Origin that mandate a significant proportion of a battery pack to be locally built, don't result in tariffs that would make our EV exports uncompetitive," UK EV campaign group FairCharge founder Quentin Wilson said. "Our auto industry should welcome a new supply of battery cells that haven't been shipped across the world but made here in Britain."

Q&A: Battery recycling gets competitive: Clarification

Clarifies temporary facility's processing capacity under first question Singapore, 26 March (Argus) — Singapore-based lithium-ion battery recycling firm EcoNiLi Battery will launch a 24,000 t/yr battery recycling plant in Malaysia's Perak state in May. Argus spoke to Jayden Goh, chief executive officer and founder of EcoNiLi, about upcoming developments and the battery recycling industry. Edited highlights follow: Could you share more about the plant? We are relying on domestic used battery supply and some domestic firms that have imported battery scraps, including in shredded form, from regions such as Europe and even the US, which we are collecting and buying for processing. But we are bringing the issue up to the federal level and want the creation of a policy that will allow us to import used batteries from all regions. We are also in negotiation with the trade ministry to obtain a green channel to directly import used battery scraps, which is currently not allowed. We currently have a temporary facility that processes 3,000 t/yr of used batteries to produce black mass. We are going to produce industrial-grade lithium carbonate and have stopped producing mixed hydroxide precipitate (MHP). We are looking at producing cobalt, nickel electrolytes for phase two and plan to begin construction by next year. We [have] exported our black mass mainly to Hong Kong customers, who will take them back to China, as well as South Korea. But we will be exporting to Chinese customers on an offtake basis, [for] which we have four buying contracts. Battery treatment costs for black mass in Singapore are [at] about 5,800 yuan/t, but it is about Yn1,500/t in Malaysia. As I see it, if we want to be competitive in the region, we would need to be competitive in terms of production costs, capital expenditure and scale. What are your thoughts on the lithium market volatility and how does that factor into the company's strategy? I think lithium is a very risky business. The market is not driven by supply and demand but by expectations and assumptions. Therefore, whenever we handle large quantities of lithium materials, we prefer to do it in the form of offtake. Whatever we produce we would like to ship it out immediately. We do not want to be a gambler. The market has not been performing too well in the first two months this year, but [the] price is slowly rising in March. We extract lithium and make MHP at a treatment fee of around less than $1,000/t of black mass for black mass producers, who will sell them themselves. What is your view on the battery recycling industry in Asia? I think only a few big players will remain [in Malaysia] in the next 3-5 years. But whether they will be [granted] license[s], that's another story. We obtained the fastest environmental impact assessment approval in Malaysia's record in just three weeks. I think we will also be the first to obtain the permission to directly import used batteries, in four to five months' time, which will put us in a better position. It is also getting competitive elsewhere in the region. We were the first black mass producing factory in Indonesia back in 2019 and only managed to collect 150t of used batteries per month as imports are not allowed. Several black mass factories have also failed over there as they did not manage to collect sufficient quantities. The Indian government is also quite supportive because circular economy creates indirect jobs. But domestic collection is currently unsustainable in India. We are seeing rapid breakthroughs in battery technologies such as sodium-ion batteries. How would that affect the lithium-ion battery market? The situation is similar to hydrogen vehicles. Just look at how long it took to promote and get the market to believe in the technology. Sodium-ion batteries are still in their infancy phase. Maybe we do need to process sodium-ion batteries 10 years later. But now it's too early for that. By Joseph Ho Send comments and request more information at feedback@argusmedia.com Copyright © 2024.

Japan’s Isuzu to invest $6.6bn in Thailand's EV sector

Singapore, 21 March (Argus) — Japanese car producer Isuzu will invest around 240bn Baht ($6.6bn) by 2030 in Thailand's electric vehicle (EV) sector, a Thai government spokesperson said today. Isuzu plans to produce its D-MAX electric pickup truck in the country for export in 2025, Chai Wacharonke said. Isuzu had earlier this week said it will launch the model in European countries such as Norway in 2025. The model will be rolled out to the UK, Australia, Thailand, and other countries "based on market needs and the maturity of EV charging infrastructure", the firm said. More details about Isuzu's investment plans were unavailable. Thai prime minister Srettha Thavisin said last month that the country aims to attract Bt1 trillion as it seeks to become a future mobility hub. Thailand will promote its EV industry and look into other technologies such as "hydrogen engines", Thavisin said. Thailand's National Electric Vehicle Policy Board last month approved a plan to offer commercial electric truck and bus purchase tax incentives. The plan also aims to provide cash grants for EV battery cell manufacturers. Thailand has a target for zero emissions vehicles to reach 30pc of the country's total automobile production by 2030 with its 30@30 policy. Battery EV registrations almost quintupled from a year earlier to about 100,000 units in 2023. By Joseph Ho Send comments and request more information at feedback@argusmedia.com Copyright © 2024.

China's EV penetration to exceed 50pc in 3 months: BYD

Beijing, 19 March (Argus) — China's penetration of new energy vehicle (NEV) sales is likely to exceed 50pc in the coming three months, according to Wang Chuanfu, chairman and president of the country's largest NEV manufacturer BYD. "[China's] NEV (sales) penetration already reached 48.2pc last week," Wang told delegates at the 2024 China EV100 forum on 18 March. "If it continues to develop at this rate, I estimate that the penetration (in weekly sales) may exceed 50pc, or even higher, in the next three months, leading to a dominating position in the auto market for NEVs." NEVs refer to battery-electric vehicles (BEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) and fuel-cell vehicles in China. BYD surpassed US electric vehicle (EV) producer Tesla as the world's largest EV producer in 2022. It reported record high NEV output and sales in 2023, each exceeding 3mn units. BYD has stopped producing gasoline-fuelled vehicles since March 2022, opting instead to focus on making BEVs and PHEVs. Global new energy passenger car sales exceeded 18mn units in 2023, with a 18pc penetration in the world's total passenger car sales. China achieved an over 35pc penetration of new energy passenger cars in its total sales during the same period, according to data quoted by Wang. There is still "a lot of" room for the Chinese NEV industry to grow in 2024, with an estimated sales increase of 2mn units if this year's average penetration increases to 45pc from 35pc in 2023, Wang said. China's total NEV sales increased to 9.495mn units in 2023, up by 38pc from the previous year, according to data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers. Challenges The NEV industry is also facing challenges, particularly keener market competition, Wang acknowledged. "The industry has entered a brutal knockout phase," Wang said. Chinese domestic EV producer WM Motor filed for pre-restructuring in October 2023 as the company faced financial problems. Another domestic manufacturer HiPhi also announced in February that it was suspending production for six months. Major Chinese EV manufacturers, including BYD, have been announcing deep discounts over the past month, hoping to gain consumer interest and boost sales. Manufacturers have reduced prices for some domestic EV brands by as much as 30pc. Capacity expansions and an increase in market participants could cause more overcapacity problems and trigger even keener pricing competition in the coming years, according to industry participants. Chinese consumers had less interest in buying NEVs in 2023 , despite intense price competition in the domestic market, according to a recent survey by US consulting firm McKinsey. A lack of public charging facilities is the main reason for consumers' dissatisfaction with NEVs, especially in the country's third and fourth tier cities.
