Abstract

Expanding domestic production and implementing demand-side strategies can substantially narrow material shortages for US electric vehicle batteries, but these efforts still fall short of meeting projected 2035 demand. To assure US battery supplies, the USA must support investments across all domestic supply chain stages, reduce and shift battery material demand, and continue to secure international supplies.
