EV Battery Overcapacity Looms as EV Demand Slows

The future of electric vehicle (EV) battery production looks increasingly uncertain as demand for these vehicles slows down. According to a recent report by AlixPartners, the global capacity for EV batteries is predicted to triple the actual demand by 2030, leading to significant overcapacity issues.

As we reported earlier this year, the F-150 Lightning has face...
