The US, Canada, Japan, China, France, Israel and Denmark are currently developing nationwide multi tiered electrical energy networks to support electric car charging. The grids are intended to replace the ubiquitous gas station fill up, and also to encompass and harness a broad range of technologies and infrastructure systems to increase the efficiency and growth of renewable energy sources like hydro, wind and solar for future generations.  Lenders such as Israel Corp., Morgan Stanley, the Ofer Group, and VantagePoint Venture Partners have raised millions for these projects as various early stages: auguring an improvement in the global climate as lenders everywhere are poised to invest again.

Proponents of “Electrification” describe the de-carbonization of society as an enhancement to national security and the preservation of wealth.  The Electrification Coalition proposes that by 2040, 75% of the vehicle miles traveled in the US should be electric miles. This fall US President Barack Obama created $3.4 billion in Smart Grid Investment Grant awards, to be matched by industry funding for a total public-private placement worth over $8 billion: the largest single energy grid modernization investment in US history.  The emergent market of electric cars is gaining traction fast: Mitsubishi Motors Corp is ahead of schedule by mass producing the electric cars it projected to sell in Japan in 2010. Renault and EDF have partnered to complete a nationwide electric car recharging network in France by 2011.  Electric cars are increasingly popular in the gas-rich Arab Emirates.  With some 1 300 electric cars already shipped there this year; Warren Buffet backed electric car maker BYD is one of the most sold car brands in the Gulf.

Electric car technology is hot stock. In the fall of 2008, Berkshire Hathaway bought 10% of BYD Company for $230 million; the company has appreciated 683% since last October, when the stock was trading around $13.00.  BYD Company Limited (HKG:1211) gained 4.86% to close at $65.85 on Friday. This September BYD reported selling a record 44,000 vehicles, an 88% increase over September 2008. During the first nine months of 2009, the company sold approximately 300,000 vehicles, accounting for 75% of their full year sales target.  Recent data from HKEx showed that Barclays bought 32.33 million shares of BYD.

Electric and alternative fueled cars are also becoming larger attractions at international auto shows: the foremost innovative theme at all 2009 and upcoming 2010 international auto shows is electric cars.  Auto makers like Renault, Tesla Motors, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Lexus, Ford, KIA, Peugeot, Daimler, Porsche and others reveal their new electric products; meanwhile parts manufactures introduce innovative, economic and environmentally prudent batteries, brakes, electric cooling systems, accessories and fine point components for all these new cars.  Thirty percent of the new models shown at the 2009 Frankfurt motor show were electric vehicles.

The driver of electric car innovation is the dawn of lithium-ion battery technology, bolstering the demand for rare earth elements. Lithium battery research and development is vital because the applications refer to supplying not only the transportation sector, but also electrical power grids and infrastructure. Eventually electric cars will be provided with high voltage “fast charges” which can charge vehicle batteries in mere minutes.  Time magazine named the Nissan Leaf as one of its 50 best inventions of 2009: the zero-emission vehicle has a reusable lithium-ion battery.  Though the Leaf is set to be released late next year, the company is already proposing next generation lithium battery enhancements which can power the Leaf up to 200 miles.
