Cars That Think

DECEMBER 30, 2021

As power grids everywhere increasingly rely on intermittent renewable energy, batteries and other forms of energy storage that can even out the bumps in supply and demand are taking on a crucial role. While lithium isn’t exactly in short supply, extracting it from the ground exacts a huge environmental cost. Well, let's think.

For EVs to deliver their full emission-reducing potential, the battery supply chain must be as clean as possible, and cathode active materials (CAM) are a key part of the sustainability equation. This is the case at our gigafactory in Europe, which relies on wind energy, and it’s also what we plan for our soon-to-come plant in Canada.
