Electric Vehicle Battery Supply Chain and Critical Materials: A Brief Survey of State of the Art

Electric vehicles (EVs) have been garnering wide attention over conventional fossil fuel-based due to the serious concerns of environmental pollution and crude oil depletion. In this article, we conducted a systematic literature survey explore battery raw material supply chain, processing, economy behind commodity price appreciation. We present significant areas concern, including resource reserves, supply, demand, geographical distribution, reuse, recycling industries. Furthermore, details chain its associated steps are illustrated. The authors believe presented study will be an information cornerstone in boosting manufacturing understanding key components materials required facilitate EV production. Further, discusses major industries, their policies global market share each category.
