U.S. firms are racing against more established Asian firms to build a supply chain for the manufacture of batteries for electric vehicles. What's at stake is not just the batteries, but the U.S. position in the future auto industry. This report by Duke GVCC for the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), found 119 sites spread out across 27 states, that are all playing key roles across the value chain. A webcast "Office Hours with Marcy Lowe on Green Jobs" from October 8, 2010 provides a discussion of the report, which finds the United States is well-positioned to be a leader in producing batteries for electric cars.
