Sumario: | Electro-mobility polarizes. While the automotive industry, governments and the media assign electro-mobility an important role in fighting against climate change and air pollution, the production of high-performance batteries is also accompanied by a growing demand for strategic resources, including lithium. In the following article, we first present important aspects of the current transformation of the automotive industry in Germany. Using the example of lithium mining in South America, we then describe the raw material problems of electro-mobility. Based on a ten-months field stay in the region between 2018 and 2019, We present the particular problems of lithium mining in the high Andean salt flats of South America. The research is primarily based on qualitative social research methods. |
