Tesla supplier Panasonic Energy plans to eliminate its supply-chain dependence on China for electric vehicle batteries made in the United States, a senior executive told
The International Energy Agency estimates that 90% of graphite and 77% of refined rare earths — key inputs in EV and battery production— will come from China by 2030.
In 2023, the Chinese government extended $809 million in subsidies to EV battery maker CATL (more than double the $401 million it provided in 2022) and $208.9 million to EVE Energy (China''s fourth-largest EV
China is a significant producer of lithium batteries and electric vehicles, supported by government policies. Lithium-ion batteries produced in China are primarily exported to Hong Kong, the
At the Beijing Auto Show in April, CATL, the world''s largest electric vehicle (EV) battery maker, stunned many with a new product. The Shenxing Plus battery can power an EV

Beijing has instructed the country to "fast-track the research, development and industrialisation" of solid-state batteries in its strategy for the new-energy vehicle industry from
From 2020 to 2023, China’s global EV exports increased by 851 percent, with the largest share of those exports (nearly 40 percent) going to Europe. Collectively, Chinese EV and EV battery enterprises have at least equaled—and in some cases surpassed—their Western peers in innovation capacity and product quality.

These companies supply batteries not only to domestic automakers but also to global brands like Tesla and BMW, solidifying China’s position as the world’s EV battery powerhouse. The reasons for this dominance lie in China’s well-integrated supply chain, which includes access to raw materials such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel.
In 2023, the Chinese government extended $809 million in subsidies to EV battery maker CATL (more than double the $401 million it provided in 2022) and $208.9 million to EVE Energy (China’s fourth-largest EV battery producer). From 2018 to 2023, the Chinese government extended a total of $1.8 billion in subsidies to CATL alone.
As noted, China dominates supply chains for the mining and refining of minerals and rare earths, giving its EV battery makers a cost and first-mover advantage. The United States must lead an alliance of like-minded nations to build alternative EV battery input supply chains outside of Chinese control.
CATL accounts for 37 percent of the global EV battery market followed by FDB with 16 percent, giving China’s top two competitors alone over half the global market. (See figure 6.) The twain are followed by LG Energy and Panasonic, with 14 percent and 6 percent of the market, respectively.
