Global Lithium and EV Battery Raw Material Supply Chain Congress to be held in North America

The North American automotive OEMs now face a significant challenge, frequently cited as the most urgent today. Addressing how lithium and critical battery raw materials supply will meet demand as firms race to ramp up Battery Electrical Vehicle manufacturing. The Global Lithium and EV Battery Raw Material Supply Chain, will be held from November 30 to December 1, 2022 in North America.
The American business conferences built strong connections with key engineers from major OEMs when the company started a pioneering into series of battery-electric vehicle technology conferences back in 2010. In May of 2022, the Battery Electric Vehicle Architectures advisory board recommended to convene a North American conference to explore ideas for reinventing the lithium and rare metals supply chain and encouraging OEM collaboration with mining, extraction, investment, and battery technology/chemical firms. OEMs, the end-users of lithium and rare metals, will map out and define their requirements at this conference in collaboration with the battery material supply chain.

 This year the speaker of the conference includes, Liang Tao, Principle of Battery Strategy Battery Cell Engineering, Rivian will discuss future sourcing and investment signalling lithium and battery raw material specifications and required volumes to help mining, processing and chemical partners. Marcos Arezo, VMO Sustainability & Open Innovation Manager, Jaguar Land Rover will discuss  price of a sustainable supply chain price optimization, ESG, and managing geopolitical risk throughout the battery raw material,  supply chain an OEM perspective.
Rahul Madhavan, Director, Fleet Strategy and New Business Incubation, Hitachi will discuss battery manufacturer more nickel intensive or nickel elimination? The future of nickel-intensive chemistry as opposed to chemistry that completely eliminates nickel and cobalt  and how this will benefit supply chain diversification.
