My sense of it is that we are looking at an EV revolution, at present it is largely imperceptible, but over the next 2 years it will begin to bite with the early adopters.
But by the early 2020's real traction will happen, Volvo will not make any ICE vehicles after 2019, even though they are leading the way, the car market will look very different in a relatively short time.
This EV revolution is Gov't guaranteed, Gov'ts worldwide are legislating to make this happen, it is a lay down misere. Which is a pretty good investment case for battery minerals.

Been holding CLQ since 2014, just wish I had more money to put there, but have been building my Co portfolio this year AUZ, EUC, MEI, CZN. I think Ni (the right type) is going to be big too, not to mention Cu.
Apart from CLQ & AUZ I am now focussed on sulhide deposits, but CLQ & AUZ will have plenty of Ni to help offset costs, not to mention Sc.
VW are already looking at re-cycling their old EV batteries for use as domestic storage batteries.
What type of mineralization do CLA have in Namibia ??, have heard of them but not done any DD
