By the end of this decade, truck charging in Europe is expected to create a bigger market opportunity than passenger car charging for DC technology. In this Viewpoint, we address existing and potential issues impacting electric truck charging.

Achieving resilience and sustainability for the EV battery supply chain

Bernd Schreiber, Dr. Philipp Seidel, Alexander Krug, Rodrigo P. Navarro, Dr. Kai-Oliver Zander, Shinichi Akayama

However, battery supply chains remain complex, global, and fragile, with many still evolving from scratch. Their resilience is impacted by a growing number of factors, from rising raw material costs to geopolitical disruption. Average battery pack prices have risen in 2022, the first increase since 2013. Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) concerns, greater regulation, and governments’ desire to localize battery production add to pressure on already-stretched global supply chains. All of these factors lead to potential bottlenecks that affect production.

The rise of electric vehicles (EVs) and associated battery gigafactories is pushing forward the creation of a European closed-loop battery recycling value chain. Increased recycling demand, intensified EU regulations, and a strong desire to localize supply chains and safeguard critical raw materials is driving multiple opportunities. In this context, as we explore in this Viewpoint, new ecosystems are emerging, and players interested in scaling need to act quickly to take advantage of the current environment.
