How is the Li-battery value chain evolving in the US and EU?

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.
