SUMMARY:Battery Manufacturing Powers Up: Transatlantic Catch-Up and Coopera
 tion
DESCRIPTION:The global transition to electric vehicles (EVs) is acceleratin
 g. Aggressive targets and outright bans on internal combustion vehicles ha
 ve been announced recently in the United States and Europe. As this realit
 y sinks in\, a challenge arises: Asia\, and especially China\, dominates E
 V supply chains\, particularly for batteries\, the most crucial EV compone
 nt. The response to this challenge has been fragmented at best on both sid
 es of the Atlantic. The United States has largely left it to the states. T
 he United Kingdom is scrambling to gain a foothold during Brexit. The Euro
 pean Union has adopted an ambitious plan\, but questions remain about foll
 ow-through. Little attention has been given to transatlantic cooperation.I
 TIF hosted a&nbsp\;transatlantic discussion of EV battery policy and how c
 ooperation and competition might best be balanced for this “industry of 
 the future” that’s already here.Speakers&nbsp\;David M. HartSenior Fel
