China is not only one of the largest EV markets in the world, but it produces around 80% of global lithium. Still, the country wants more. It\u2019s estimated that half of the world\u2019s total lithium resources are in South America and Australia. However, Africa is now being looked at with renewed interest.<\/p>\n<p>According to\u00a0<strong>this analysis<\/strong>\u00a0by news agency Reuters, companies around the world are re-considering projects they\u2019ve previously overlooked. Moreover, China\u2019s interest in Africa has helped spur dozens of nations to follow suit.
