Although the United States has become the world’s largest oil producer, accounting for 15.8% of global production as of 2023, its continued reliance on oil to power transportation exposes the nation to persistent economic and national security vulnerabilities.
A new paper by Elaine Buckberg and co-authors argues that U.S. states can turbo-charge electric-vehicle adoption without rebates or taxes—just data transparency.
This research paper covers many angles of the nascent EV battery recycling industry including the market size and future projections, existing facilities, benefits and challenges, existing legislation, international comparisons and policy recommendations.
Atlas Public Policy assessed the current and planned production capacity for class 4-8 heavy-duty zero-emission vehicles in the United States based on publicly available information from vehicle manufacturers and news sources. The report discusses manufacturers plans to increase manufacturing capacity for heavy-duty zero-emission vehicles through building new facilities, expanding existing facilities, and the recalibration of production at facilities that are capable of producing both internal combustion and zero-emission vehicles side-by-side.
In this report, Plug In America releases a set of recommendations on creating an ethical and sustainable battery supply chain,
RMI’s paper, Measuring Gaps in Supply and Demand for EV Battery Materials in the United States, helps shed light on the state of today’s EVB supply chain and can inform investment and policy decisions; it can also clarify how much of the battery supply is expected to qualify for IRA incentives in the future by presenting a methodology for quantifying the gap between supply and demand of inputs and subcomponents along all major stages of the EVB supply chain.
This new research from NRDC focuses on policies that support the most effective strategy to limit the harms from battery supply chains: reducing the type and amount minerals needed.
The Assessment focuses on key materials with high risk of supply disruption that are integral to clean energy technologies.
This report summarizes the significant investments in the electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem that have been announced over the past 8 years. This includes announced investments in EV, EV battery, and battery component manufacturing.
This publication summarizes the presentation and discussion of a virtual workshop hosted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to identify some of the challenges to widespread EV deployment and discuss policy, technical, and market strategies to help federal agencies and other stakeholders plan for the future.
