New Samsung EV Battery Technology Good For Silver
Amid all the volatility of recent weeks, one market has proved relatively strong: Gold has trundled higher to fresh records, popping above $2,500 an ounce for the first time.
Silver seems to be tracking the bigger bullion, but the grey metal has notably failed to follow Gold’s record-setting, trading currently around $29.40 an ounce.
Samsung’s new solid-state battery technology, which incorporates a silver-carbon (AG-C) composite layer, should deliver a big boost in demand for Silver.
The key drivers that will ramp up demand for EVs are range, charge time, battery life and safety.
The Samsung technology could possibly deliver a battery with a 600-mile range, a 20-year lifespan and a nine-minute charge.
Still, what the Samsung technology does suggest is that the Silver market will get still tighter, allowing the price of Silver to take a run at its all time, inflation adjusted high of $200/oz, which would likely be seen in the coming 10-15 years.
