According To Study, Battery Production Does Not Keep Up With The Expansion Of The Electric Car Market, With Insufficient Cell Production

Study commissioned by ABB predicts that the plans for electric car battery production are insufficient and highlights the role of automation in meeting demand, as the number of electric vehicles is expected to exceed that of combustion vehicles. This transformation raises significant concerns about battery supply, according to the study ‘Analysis Of The Battery Supply Chain For Electric Vehicles’.

Battery Demand In Electric Car Production

These concerns about battery supply for electric cars to meet surging demand already represent a serious risk to the growth of electricity as a clean propulsion fuel, despite plans for 80 new global battery gigafactories. The study highlights that, although Asia leads battery production for electric cars, Europe will occupy a vital space in the coming years, while U.S. manufacturers are also planning capacity increases.

See details from the study: “With production speed and flexibility, which are essential for the successful scaling up of the electric car battery industry, our cell production architecture allows manufacturers to quickly validate a cell design and then implement production cells globally, following uniform standards for quality, safety, and productivity. Implementations can be scaled according to demand, with flexibility to adjust capacity in real time.”

The researchers involved in the study point to the importance of battery assembly being located near or inside automotive assembly facilities: “Co-location of the battery pack not only increases sustainability by reducing transportation costs, but enhances flexibility. The cell-based approach to production can be easily integrated into existing lines.”

Tanja Vainio, executive director of ABB Robotics’ Auto Tier 1 business, stated that if the demand curve shifts, cells can be quickly added or removed to maintain precise production scale. According to Vainio, robots are designed to be rapidly repurposed as needed, increasing flexibility and contributing to the sustainable approach, maximizing the lifespan of each robot they build.
