As the EV Future barrels into the passenger vehicle market, it is transforming the global battery industry toward large scale, commercial manufacturing operations that are supported by emerging regionalized supply chains. Global sales of 6.6 million Electric Vehicles in 2021 consumed over 280 GWh of Lithium-Ion Battery Cells valued at almost 30 B USD. This is double the EV Battery market of 2020.

In this episode we consider the transition to EV from the perspective of multiple stakeholders:

• Car manufacturers
• Utility providers
• Battery manufactures (and the supply chain)
• Government
• Consumers (with different vehicle uses and in different locations)
