US Department of Energy publishes national battery strategy and launches Battery Manufacturing Accelerator
The US Department of Energy has released a national battery strategy targeting a fully integrated domestic battery supply chain by 2030 and US leadership in battery technology and manufacturing by 2035. DOE projects US battery demand across transportation and energy storage will nearly quadruple, from 179 GWh in 2025 to 707 GWh in 2035. It also launched the Battery Manufacturing Accelerator (BattMan), led by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory with Argonne, Oak Ridge, the National Laboratory of the Rockies and five universities as partners, as reported by EVNews on 1 November 2026.
Why it matters
A stated push for domestic supply chains and lower manufacturing costs could shape future battery availability and pricing for charging hardware, including storage-backed sites. Organisations wanting to collaborate can approach BattMan, which may open routes to partnership and funding conversations.
