The Environmental Defense Fund has chronicled battery manufacturing announcements in the USA as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act. Earlier this year, I predicted that the majority of all vehicles produced globally would be battery electric by 2027, but there was doubt expressed at how this could occur due to battery supply constraints.
