Per Fastmarkets' July 23, 2026 report by Lee Allen, the UK's lithium-ion battery supply chain is accelerating from pilot to industrial-scale production, a shift discussed at the Battery Cells & Systems Expo.
The UK risks losing critical battery materials and value overseas: most battery scrap and black mass generated domestically is still exported for refining, meaning critical minerals, jobs and commercial opportunities leave the country before re-entering the supply chain at a higher cost.
Recycling and battery manufacturing capacity are growing, but key midstream processing gaps remain, a structural risk that threatens automakers' access to secure, cost-competitive domestic supplies of cobalt, nickel and other critical minerals for EV production.
据Fastmarkets 2026年7月23日报道(作者Lee Allen),英国锂电池供应链正加速从试点生产迈向工业化规模,相关议题在电池电芯与系统展览会(Battery Cells & Systems Expo)上被讨论。
