Electric vehicle demand is on an upward trend, generating excitement among some investors about the prospects of electric vehicle manufacturers and the miners supplying the materials needed for their batteries.

What retail investors lack, however, is direct exposure to minerals prices to avoid risks associated with investing in manufacturers and miners that may be untested or located in geopolitically hazardous areas, Charged Funds CEO Will McDonough told metals and mining reporter and Energy Evolution correspondent Camellia Moors.

McDonough joins Energy Evolution to talk about investment opportunities in energy transition metals, Charged Funds’ new metals-focused exchange traded fund, and the electric vehicle battery chemistries that will define the future of the energy transition.
