Amprius aims… Read more »
How the Inflation Reduction Act is creating EV industry jobs in red states
The architects of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) understood that growing the US EV industry will be a Pyrrhic victory if we trade dependence on oil for dependence on raw materials from unpredictable foreign countries—that’s why the laws include strong incentives for automakers to establish domestic supply chains for… Read more »
Enevate teams with Korea’s JR to build a battery electrode manufacturing facility in the US
Korean battery firms are hooking up with US companies to get in on the stateside EV battery gold rush. The latest partnership to be announced is between US-based Enevate and South Korea’s JR Energy Solution (JR ES). JR ES boasts a unique electrode and battery cell foundry model that enables cell manufacturers to produce tailor-made… Read more »
BCA Industries introduces flexible turnkey EV battery recycling systems
Milwaukee-based BCA Industries, a provider of turnkey recycling systems, has formed a division called LithiBatt which is now providing complete battery recycling systems in collaboration with global partners.

Group14 begins construction of second US silicon battery materials factory
Battery manufacturer Group14 Technologies has begun the construction of its second commercial-scale Battery Active Materials (BAM-2) factory in Moses Lake, Washington. The 1 million-square-foot campus will manufacture commercial quantities of SCC55, together with the BAM-1 factory in Woodinville, Washington. SCC55 is a stable silicon-carbon composite anode with five times the capacity of graphite, which affords… Read more »
EU study examines shortage of critical metals for EVs
We’ve been reading a lot about looming shortages of battery raw materials such as lithium, nickel and graphite. But EV motors and electronics also use rare earths and other critical metals, which have their own set of supply constraints. A recent survey led by Sweden’s Chalmers University of Technology on behalf of the European Commission… Read more »
