Benchmark: global battery industry needs to invest $514B to meet demand in 2030; $920B by 2035

Green Car Congress

Demand for lithium ion batteries is forecast to grow to 3.7 The amount is just a fraction of the estimated $35 trillion needed to be spent on the energy transition by 2030, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency. This includes spending on renewables such as wind and solar as well as grid and other infrastructure.
