Full Title: Lithium-Ion And Nickel-Metal Hydride Batteries, Lithium, Rare Earth Lanthanum And the Future Of Hybrid Electric Vehicles, Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles And Electric Vehicles- Global Markets, Technologies, And Opportunities: 2009-2020 Analysis and Forecasts

The auto industry is about to enter a new era: the electrification of cars. The move to electrified cars will have dramatic, disruptive consequences to consumers, auto makers, input suppliers, battery producers, regulators, mining companies, oil producers, electric utilities, R&D activities and investors, among others. However, from this change will come enormous opportunities, including the reduction in CO2 and global warming, less dependence on oil, more geopolitical independence, technological advancements, very large, new industries and markets, and huge profits.

The economic, regulatory and technological advantages of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and electric vehicles (EVs) means that dramatic growth in their adoption and usage will be seen over the next 11 years to 2020, both in the US and worldwide.

Batteries are the key technology enablers for the future of HEVs, PHEVs and EVs. Nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries currently dominate the HEV market, but they soon will be replaced by lithium-ion ones. The report analyzes the global market for HEVs, PHEVs and EVs during the 2009 to 2020 period. It also examines the global markets for nickel-metal hydride and lithium-ion batteries used in these vehicles, since batteries are the key technology enablers.

Since lithium is the key input for lithium-ion batteries and the rare earth lanthanum is the key input for nickel-metal hydride batteries, these markets also are discussed.

Electric vehicle, lithium-ion battery and nickel-metal hydride battery technologies are discussed in detail.

Profiles of major players in the HEV, PHEV, EV, lithium-ion batteries, NiMH batteries, lithium and rare earth markets are given, including company overview, activities related to these markets and financial information.
