With electric vehicle (EV) adoption beginning to take off, Argonne researchers have tracked and analyzed new investments in EV production including identifying key states for EV battery production.
A new wave of investment in battery development and manufacturing of next-generation EV battery packs in the U.S. will help America hit the goal of roughly 10 million new EVs sold per year by 2030.
Yet, many questions remain on what happens next, where are batteries produced and does the U.S. have enough production capacity to support widespread EV adoption? Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory are trying to answer these and other questions.
Argonne National Laboratory seeks solutions to pressing national problems in science and technology. The nation’s first national laboratory, Argonne conducts leading-edge basic and applied scientific research in virtually every scientific discipline. Argonne researchers work closely with researchers from hundreds of companies, universities, and federal, state and municipal agencies to help them solve their specific problems, advance America’s scientific leadership and prepare the nation for a better future. With employees from more than 60 nations, Argonne is managed by UChicago Argonne, LLC for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science.
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science is the single largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences in the United States and is working to address some of the most pressing challenges of our time. For more information, visit https://energy.gov/science.
