Status of battery demand and supply – Batteries and Secure Energy
Global investment in EV batteries has surged eightfold since 2018 and fivefold for battery storage, rising to a total of USD 150 billion in 2023. About USD 115 billion – the lion''s share – was for EV batteries, with China, Europe and the United States together accounting for over 90% of the total. China dominates the battery supply chain
Energy Shortages
The energy storage device is the main problem in the development of all types of EVs. In the recent years, lots of research has been done to promise better energy and power densities. But not any of the energy storage devices alone has a set of combinations of features: high energy and power densities, low manufacturing cost, and long life cycle.
