The Battery Podcast is back for another two-part discussion. This time we have a special guest to give us a wider view of what is happening in the world of batteries. From the geopolitical pressures of manufacturing to the work that goes into developing batteries from raw material. I’m your moderator Nick Finberg and I’m joined by our host and expert Puneet Sinha. The two of us sat down with Roger Aktins of Electric Vehicles Outlook.

In this first half of our discussion, we’ll dive into the changing role of government in the battery manufacturing space as well as some of the hurdles OEMs are dealing with in terms of the supply chain. Let’s listen in and answer some questions about the battery industry.

What you’ll learn:

• The pressure on OEMs globally to compete with Chinese automakers and battery manufacturers

• The value of multiple battery chemistries

• The impact of state-level investment in emerging technologies
