How is the Li-battery value chain evolving in the US and EU?
Chemicals & Materials
Join our exploration of how the US and Europe are transforming the lithium battery value chain to compete on the global stage and aim for self-sufficiency in the electric vehicle (EV) market.
Key Takeaways:
- Governments are investing over $260 billion to build resilient and sustainable battery value chains across both regions.
- Significant gaps in the supply of critical materials like nickel, cobalt, and lithium pose challenges to self-sufficiency.
- Chinese and Korean manufacturers are entering US and European markets, reshaping competitive dynamics.
- Diverging consumer preferences—long-range needs in the US versus cost-effective solutions in Europe—are impacting battery chemistry choices.
- Solid-state batteries offer future promise but face technological and material hurdles delaying commercialization.
