As global demand for EVs increases, many are questioning the adequacy of the existing battery supply chain. Nicholson says 97% of current EV demand is supplied by battery firms from China, Japan and South Korea. Further upstream, the raw materials for cells, especially lithium, nickel and cobalt, present another set of problems.
