• V manufacturing. Australia remains the world's top exporter of raw lithium, followed by Chile. Currently, EV battery pack assembly plants in Germany pay an 8% import duty on raw lithium, which adds substantially to the total manufacturing cost of finished vehicles. If lithium refining facilities were established domestically within Germany, it would shorten logistics timelines for automakers and potentially reduce the final purchase price of electric cars for consumers. Statements: 1. Chile is the world's second-largest exporter of raw lithium. 2. EV battery pack assembly plants in Germany import the majority of their raw lithium directly from Australia. 3. Establishing domestic refining facilities would make electric cars in Germany the most affordable in Europe.
