A further 10% is used for nickel-based and copper-based alloys, 9% for plating, 7% for alloy steels, 3% in foundries, and 4% in other applications such as in rechargeable batteries, [15] including those in electric vehicles (EVs). [16] Nickel is widely used in coins, though nickel-plated objects sometimes provoke nickel allergy.
