Customer ServiceThe term supply chain describes the process by which a product is made and delivered to a consumer. The steps involved in producing and using an EV battery fall into four general categories: Upstream: Mines extract raw materials; for batteries, these raw materials typically contain lithium, cobalt, manganese, nickel, and graphite.
Batteries are an important part of the global energy system today and are poised to play a critical role in secure and affordable clean energy transitions. In the transport sector, they are the essential component in the millions of electric vehicles (EVs) sold each year.
In addition to battery modules, the battery pack includes other components that protect the battery and help it operate within an EV. All of these components are housed in a structure to protect the battery from water, salt, and other outside elements that can damage the battery as a whole.
The largest increase 2 in the medium (2030) and long term (2040) is anticipated for graphite, lithium and nickel (e.g. lithium demand for batteries is foreseen to grow fivefold in 2030 and have a 14-fold rise in 2040 compared to the 2020 level).

For example, Japan signed a critical mineral agreement in March with the United S tates, allowing the Treasury to add that country to its list of approved suppliers. These dynamics, easily lost in the legislative fine print, will become major forces in shaping the geography of battery production in the coming decades.
Midstream: Processors and refiners purify the raw materials, then use them to create cathode and anode active battery materials; commodities traders buy and sell raw materials to firms that produce battery cells.
