No rest for the weary, as they say. After years of losses, Tesla is now the most valuable automobile manufacturer in U.S. history, with a market cap of $97 billion. That\u2019s slightly more than the combined market caps of the more-than 100-year-old Ford Motor and General Motors Companies.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">The road hasn\u2019t been easy. Tesla reported net income of $16 million in the March quarter, the first time in company history that the Silicon Valley automaker has seen a profit in the first quarter of the year. 2020 may very well be its best year yet, the virus notwithstanding, while other manufacturers struggle to catch up with the growing demand for electric vehicles (EVs).<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>EV Sales Soared in the First Quarter While Internal Combustion Engines Sank<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">It\u2019s enticing to make the case that Tesla is more of a tech stock than an automobile stock\u2014it certainly doesn\u2019t trade like the traditional automakers\u2014but the truth is that its EVs have outsold everyone else\u2019s by a wide margin, thanks to its innovation and first mover advantage.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">As of the end of 2019, Tesla\u2019s Model 3 and Model S were the\u00a0<a class=\"color-link\" title=\"https:\/\/insideevs.com\/news\/410456\/tesla-model-3-best-selling-plugin-us\/\" href=\"https:\/\/insideevs.com\/news\/410456\/tesla-model-3-best-selling-plugin-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/insideevs.com\/news\/410456\/tesla-model-3-best-selling-plugin-us\/\" aria-label=\"number one and number two bestselling EVs\">number one and number two bestselling EVs<\/a>\u00a0in the U.S. by cumulative sales.

In the U.S., EV sales also managed to see a slight increase over last year, March being the one exception. Meanwhile, sales of gasoline and diesel-burning vehicles decreased in every major auto market, including China, the U.S. and Europe.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"direction: ltr;\"><strong>Where Will We Get the Raw Materials?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">It\u2019s too early to say whether electricity will kill gas and diesel completely, but the trend certainly seems to be pointed in that direction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">This sets up a problem that EV makers will need to address sooner rather than later: Who\u2019s going to supply the raw materials that EVs use much more frequently and in greater quantities than traditional automobiles? And how can this supply chain be scaled up as demand increases even more rapidly?<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">To give you some idea of the challenges ahead, check out the visual below. Several base metals will be in short supply and increasingly hard to come by if steps are not taken today to develop mineral projects across the globe, particularly in emerging economies. BloombergNEF estimates that by 2030, the demand for nickel will be more than 15.5 times greater than it was in 2018, thanks to the growing need for batteries. The forecast demand for aluminum and copper could be 10 times greater.<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">The World Bank looks even further ahead, to 2050.
