Has Hertz sent a warning to Lithium investors?
It was interesting to read in the last few days that car rental company Hertz was going to sell 30% of its US electric vehicles (EV), citing higher repair costs and diminishing demand for EVs – they are buying back the dreaded petrol vehicles! The rental giant hasn’t necessarily been a leading light over the last few years, with its shares falling in a bullish market. However, with increasing lithium supply, the commodity doesn’t want to encounter reduced demand for EVs or at least slower growth than is being priced in by markets.
