Supply Chain
EV Battery Supply Chain
The EV battery supply chain is shaped by three structural constraints that interact to determine who can participate and at what scale: a single battery cell requires lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese, and graphite — each sourced through its own constrained supply chain — meaning disruption to any one mineral cascades through cell production; gigafactory-scale manufacturing demands $2-5 billion in capital and two to three years to reach production quality, concentrating cell production among a small number of firms; and no single battery chemistry optimizes for energy density, safety, cost, and longevity simultaneously, forcing the system into parallel technology paths that fragment scale advantages.
Automotive Supply Chain
The automotive supply chain is shaped by three root constraints: just-in-time assembly dependency where parts must arrive in exact sequence to moving production lines, platform integration complexity where a single vehicle contains 20,000-30,000 parts sourced from hundreds of suppliers, and tooling commitment where retooling a production line requires years and billions of dollars in irreversible capital.
