Description

In April 2025's Recharge podcast, co-presenters Matt Fernley (Battery Materials Review) and Cormac O'Laoire (Electrios Energy) discuss some of the month's key talking points in the battery industry, including:



  • Geopolitics and the impact of tariffs on the industry including around exemption of battery RMs from reciprocal tariffs; EVs and ESS impact; and could this actually be a positive in the end?

  • The US Executive Order on Raw Materials - is it enough?

  • The EU's strategic raw materials projects - does the EU "get it"?

  • Cormac's postcard from Korea

  • BYD and 1MW charging - how viable is it outside China?

  • Mass market EV demand in Europe

  • Changes to China's ESS mandate and its likely impact

  • Will battery swapping go the way of the dinosaur in the passenger vehicle market?
