China’s lithium prices have plunged to their lowest level in over a decade, driven by a sharp decline in demand following the European Union’s decision to cap hybrid electric vehicle sales. The EU’s new regulations, which limit the share of hybrid vehicles in total sales, have disrupted market expectations and led to a significant oversupply of lithium. Analysts suggest the policy shift may force automakers to accelerate their transition to fully electric models, potentially reshaping the global EV supply chain. With lithium prices now at a critical juncture, industry observers are closely watching whether the downturn will persist or if demand from other sectors could stabilize the market.
