Listen now
Description
The global manufacturing landscape for EV battery technology is complex, to say the least. But one company is using its decades-long experience to simplify the battery supply chain for cell manufacturers and their OEM and Tier 1 customers. . YUNEV helps companies navigate battery manufacturing and e-mobility challenges with strategic advisory services and a proprietary battery cell database. In fact, YUNEV is working with SAE International to make its battery cell database available to a wider audience. This work will help users identify alternative battery suppliers, keep pace with market shifts, and better utilize dual sourcing to minimize risks in the supply chain. . To learn more, we sat down with Kevin Beaty, President & Principal Consultant, YUNEV LLC, to discuss the global state of EV battery technology, current challenges and opportunities, and the importance of a building a resilient supply chain.   .
