Verifying the origin of EV battery materials at the source: Traceability challenges, Part Two

Charged EVs

Traceability is becoming a critical function in the EV industry, thanks to the “Buy American” requirements of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), and similar provisions in the EU’s new Battery Directive. Because EV and battery manufacturing is very complex and it’s a very long process.
