NEW YORK, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The CEO of the world's fourth-largest carmaker sees a shortage of electric vehicle batteries and raw materials by 2024-2025, as carmakers shift to EVs to meet projected increases in consumer demand and government regulations. According to Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares, "The speed at which we are trying to move all together for the right reason, which is fixing the global warming issue, is so high that the supply chain and the production capacities have no time to adjust." The possibility of shortages has been on the minds of Wall Street analysts as they rated automakers and predicted their ability to sell electric vehicles. The EV battery shortage creates an urgent need for companies like Nano One Materials Corp. (TSX:NANO) (OTCPK:NNOMF), Chargepoint Holdings Inc. (NYSE:CHPT) in order to meet the growing demand for EVs from companies like Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:STLA), ElectraMeccanica Vehicles Corp. (NASDAQ:SOLO), and Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ:RIVN).

Key Points: 
  • There is a tremendous opportunity to jointly differentiate the production processes and products for a more resilient and sustainable supply chain.
  • A week prior, Nano One Materials announced it has entered into a binding agreement to acquire Johnson Matthey (JM) Battery Materials Ltd. (JMBM Canada) for roughly C$10.25 million.
  • The new plant will supply battery modules for a range of vehicles produced at Stellantis' assembly plants in North America.
  • Better battery materials help extend battery life and achieve better battery performance.
