The rapid development of new energy vehicles has dramatically increased the demand for battery materials such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese. To assess the supply risks of these resources, the demand for battery materials in China's new energy passenger vehicles from 2023 to 2050 was predicted using the Gompertz curve model and material flow analysis, under two different scenarios of battery technology development. The results indicate that by 2050, under the lithium iron phosphate route (LFPR), the demand for lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese will be 238, 169, 362, 158 kilotons, respectively. Under the nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) lithium battery route, the estimated demands will reach 242, 201, 1 084, 187 kilotons, respectively. Recycled lithium, cobalt and nickel in 2050 are expected to meet at least 86.5%, 93.5% and 65.8% of their annual demand, respectively. Given the current lack of comprehensive laws and regulations for waste battery recycling in China, it is essential to develop relevant standards.
