This includes the removal of import taxes on lithium chloride, lithium carbonate, nickel sulphate, and cobalt carbonate, all previously set at 5%. Additionally, China eliminated the 3% import tax on low-arsenic fluorite, a crucial material for electrolyte production in lithium-ion batteries.
48 According to data presented in the Commission’s 2023 study on critical raw materials61, the EU relies heavily on international markets to secure the primary raw materials used for batteries: import reliance on five such materials (cobalt, nickel, lithium, manganese and natural graphite) averaged 78 %.
As part of its efforts to promote advanced manufacturing, China removed or reduced import taxes on key raw materials essential for EV battery production. This includes the removal of import taxes on lithium chloride, lithium carbonate, nickel sulphate, and cobalt carbonate, all previously set at 5%.
By 2025, the EU domestic production of battery cells is expected to cover EU’s consumption needs for electric vehicles and energy storage. However, it is likely that the EU will be import reliant to various degrees for primary and processed (batt-grade) materials.
These include provisions on rules of origin – the criteria for establishing that a product is of EU or UK origin and therefore qualifies for the preferential trade regime under the TCA. For EV battery packs or battery cells to be recognised as being of EU or UK origin – and therefore eligible for zero tariffs – certain percentages of their
It is estimated that by 2040 recycling could contribute to up to 51% and 42% of Cobalt and Nickel EU demand, respectively. Demand 1 for battery raw materials is expected to increase dramatically over 2040 (Figure 1), following the exponential growth of electric vehicles (EV) and, to a minor degree, energy storage system (ESS) applications.
