What happened
The oil shock resulting from the war with Iran is providing new momentum to the electric vehicle market globally. Higher prices for petrol and diesel are compelling consumers to seek alternative energy solutions. This shift is particularly pronounced in countries reliant on oil and natural gas supplies from the Gulf.

Why it matters
The growing demand for electric vehicles means increased consumption of critical metals, including lithium, nickel, and copper. This trend could expose already strained global supply chains to new shocks.
The war in the Middle East has led to elevated oil prices and caused credit quality concerns, impacting the EV market and SMEs.
