The EV battery supply chain is dispersed around the world — battery minerals travel an average of 50,000 miles from extraction to battery cell production. At the same time, much of the mineral supply is concentrated in just a few countries. This dispersion and concentration make the global supply chain vulnerable to disruptions, including:
“Batteries so far have been produced mainly on coal power,” says Thor. That is why this factory is in the north of Sweden where there is plenty of renewable electricity, including hydropower. The emissions per battery made here are 70 per cent lower than those made in China, says Thor, and Northvolt's aim is to get that figure to 90 per cent.
Battery manufacturers assemble the battery cells into modules and then packs and sell them to automakers, who place the finished batteries in EVs. Some automakers like Ford and Stellantis have formed partnerships with battery manufacturers to produce their own batteries for the vehicles they sell.
The downstream portion of the EV battery supply chain involves the assembly of battery cells into modules and then packs before placing finished batteries into EVs. (To learn more about how EV batteries work and how they're made, read “ EV Batteries 101: The Basics.”)
Like the upstream portion of the EV battery supply chain, the midstream portion is concentrated in a small number of countries, mostly outside of the United States. Asia dominates the midstream portion: according to BloombergNEF, China, South Korea, and Japan are the world's three top battery manufacturing countries, with China dominating.
