Interest in lithium has grown in the past two years, with many investors turning to the sector as prices for the battery metal climbed to all time highs.

To get more insight on developments in the lithium space, the Investing News Network sat down with Ken Hoffman, senior expert at McKinsey.

“Prices went up a lot last year, almost 1,000 percent, so that’s a lot,” he said. “And the reason they went up a lot was because demand for electric vehicles just exploded. Lithium-iron-phosphate batteries in China were up 170 percent, and nickel-cobalt-manganese batteries were up over 100 percent. No commodity can quickly react to that.”
