Driving Battery Manufacturing Forward!
The United States is expected to double its manufacturing capacity with more than 10 new battery manufacturing plants expected to be operational in the next five years.
As of 2020, U.S. capacity of global electric vehicle (EV) lithium-ion cell manufacturing was approximately 59 GWh. That number is expected to grow to 224 GWh by 2025.
To keep up with this demand and retain a competitive manufacturing base, the United States needs a robust supply chain and skilled workforce to produce state-of-the-art, reliable EV and grid storage batteries at scale.
