In the world of logistics, it’s EV battery storage that poses the greatest number of challenges to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). When the new generation of electric vehicles first arrived in Europe, it’s safe to say petrol and diesel cars weren’t looking like being knocked from their perch anytime soon.
So, the need for EV battery storage solutions on the continent is not only to successfully bridge potential gaps in the supply chain, but also to allow manufacturers to source batteries quickly and efficiently when the assembly line is ready for them. Electric vehicle batteries are somewhat volatile in nature.
Suppliers of raw materials, makers of parts, and shippers of the finished product have been links in the chain for a long time — and they’ve served the market well. As electric vehicles inch toward becoming the norm rather than the exception, this same supply chain will serve them, too…except when it comes to their batteries.
When f inished vehicles are shipped by rail, they’re loaded into rail cars at auto ramps. After they’ve traveled by train to an auto ramp nearest their destination, finished vehicles are unloaded from the rail car and onto a car hauler for delivery to a dealership. What Is the Best Way to Ship Electric Vehicles?
The EV battery supply chain is dispersed around the world — battery minerals travel an average of 50,000 miles from extraction to battery cell production. At the same time, much of the mineral supply is concentrated in just a few countries. This dispersion and concentration make the global supply chain vulnerable to disruptions, including:
Shipping these materials to lithium mines is the first step in the EV battery supply chain. Raw materials for lithium mining and extraction can ship by truck or rail. When industrial chemicals ship by rail, the rail car used will vary by product type. Sodium cyanide, cobalt and graphite — tank cars, hoppers, box cars or containers on flat cars
