Application
Electric Vehicles
Long-range, fast-charging mobility for American roads.
EV batteries must deliver range, fast charging, and a decade or more of life while operating safely across climates and duty cycles. They are at the heart of the transportation transition.
What these batteries need to do
- Pack architectures tailored for passenger vehicles, pickup trucks, buses, and commercial fleets.
- High-nickel chemistries for long-range vehicles, with LFP and high-manganese options for cost-sensitive and fleet deployments.
- Advanced thermal management and battery management systems (BMS) that protect cells under fast charging and high-load conditions.
- Close coupling with vehicle controls, charging infrastructure, and telematics for optimal lifetime performance.
Chemistries and designs that work here
EVs draw on a portfolio of chemistries—from high-nickel NMC and NCA for energy-dense packs to LFP for robust, cost-effective platforms. The right match depends on range requirements, charging strategy, and duty cycle.
Strategic value for the United States
Scaling EVs in America requires secure supplies of lithium, nickel, manganese, cobalt, graphite, copper, aluminum, and steel. Domestic and allied mining, refining, and cell manufacturing reduce exposure to geopolitical shocks and shipping disruptions.
The American Battery connects this application to specific chemistries, materials, and supply chain needs, so that technology decisions and policy choices can be grounded in a clear view of the entire value chain.
