US Battery Monthly

A 360 view of the US battery supply chain covering cell balances, EV and energy storage demand, cell supply trends, government policy and developments in the US cathode and lithium market.

Overview

North America’s battery market is experiencing a structural realignment driven by two massive forces:
  • US automakers and their focus on lower-cost battery systems to unlock mass-market platforms and
  • Surging BESS storage demand as the new AI economy transforms US power balances
As a result, North America has undertaken a major shift in gigafactory cell chemistry, driven by active retooling efforts toward LFP configurations. REA actively monitors developments in the US battery supply chain, helping clients understand the following:
  • Detailed insights on US battery demand, including monthly EV and ESS cell demand, including OEM/BESS-cell offtake deals
  • Role of government policy on both a federal and state level and the implications for US cell manufacturers and midstream players.
  • Monitoring US cathode balances and chemistry outlooks, including both traditional and next-generation technologies (e.g. sodium-ion)
  • Developments in the US battery offtake market and the individual supply chains of both OEMs and cellmakers, particularly Korean producers.

Our Benefits

Stay informed with insights on developments in the US battery market

US cell balances

REA provides detailed coverage on US EV and ESS cell demand, supply by chemistry and company, utilisation rates and import trends

Supply Chain Strategy

REA provides granular detail on the supply chain strategies of US OEMs and cellmakers, including offtake details for cathode active materials and Li. REA also tracks 45X compliance and the impact of government policy on delivered cell costs and pricing.

Upstream

REA tracks developments in the US lithium market, focusing on US cost curve economics, DLE economics, offtake strategy and pricing developments.

Government strategy

REA regularly works with US government bodies on the impact of policy on US battery market outcomes, particularly the requirements for US midstream capacity building.
