Thanks to Jailbird

Article in today’s Guardian says that car makers may have to pull very polluting cars from the UK market to meet emissions targets for the next two years.

At the moment emissions are counted Europe wide allowing a trade off between countries that like smaller models and those that like gas guzzlers.

The government has said they will continue the same emissions policy, but our market will be stand alone, so each manufacturer will have to get the correct mix here to avoid huge fines.

You would assume that will help the UK EV market.

More info on the future of battery research

Bring it on Dogberry, more nickel use the merrier.

Hopefully something transformative here before long as well, though with 25 million they can be choosy.

Thanks Dogberry, Hopefully the million mile battery has nickel in it, this possible one seems to.
Think Vermelho will be years into production before other battery technology makes inroads.

Mind you a prog I watched last night said cows will soon be obsolete, so interesting times, disruption everywhere.

Just the beginning and it will need a large amount of nickel and cobalt.

May be a little out of date regarding amounts. He may be selling us right down for all I know, but I’m sure he has done nicely with us.

So far today pretty well double the shares bought than sold, hope they have gone to sticky fingers.

We need to have 100 million market cap (double the current share price) for many institutions to be allowed to invest, the CEO said he would get us there.

If Teck started major selling I would sit up, the rest is just business as usual.

Worth a look if you are considering buying or selling!

Don’t forget the largest shareholder Teck (over 14%) has a man on the HZM board.
