Global nickel production is about 5 billion pounds a year, divided equally between grade 1 high-purity nickel from sulphide deposits and grade 2 nickel from laterite deposits.  
By 2030, the penetration rate of electric vehicles will reach 22% to 30%, and the annual production of 30 million electric vehicles will require about 2 billion pounds of grade 1 nickel, Mc Kinsey researchers Ken Hoffman reported.
