In the battery cell manufacturing process, three steps require roughly equal shares of capital expenditures: 35 to 45 percent for electrode-manufacturing equipment, 25 to 35 percent for cell-assembly-and-handling equipment, and 30 to 35 percent for cell-finishing equipment (Exhibit 2).
Therefore, conducting a thorough analysis of the regulatory landscape is an essential step in developing your business plan. First, you need to identify the specific regulations that govern EV battery manufacturing. These regulations may vary depending on your location, and it is important to stay updated on any changes or updates that may occur.
Developing a strong marketing and sales strategy is crucial for the success of your EV battery manufacturing business. It will help you establish your brand, reach your target customers, and generate sales. Here are key steps to outline a detailed marketing and sales strategy:
Battery manufacturers and OEMs are exploring new business models (e.g., battery rentals) to maintain ownership of batteries and take responsibility for recycling. The top priority for most companies today, however, is getting access to the right battery cost and infrastructure.
EV OEMs and battery cell manufacturing companies will need manufacturing equipment to ramp up production fast and to ensure high factory production performance. Since the majority of announced new gigafactories have planned to start production prior to 2025, companies are making buying decisions about manufacturing equipment supply now.
Cell manufacturing, the most important step in the battery value chain, is estimated to account for up to 40 percent of battery-industry value creation by 2030. Manufacturers are investing billions of dollars in new battery-cell plants.
