In this episode of The Power Current podcast, host Chris Berry interviews Dr. Cormac O'Laoire, Managing Director at Electrios Energy, discussing the evolution of the battery industry, particularly focusing on lithium-ion and LFP technologies. They explore the current trends in the battery supply chain, the shift in battery chemistry narratives, and the overlooked areas within the industry. The conversation also delves into the comparative dynamics of North American and European supply chains, the balance between innovation and scale, and the future of battery technologies, including recycling challenges and the potential for battery swapping.

This interview was done in collaboration with Fastmarkets and the Live Lounge set at their Lithium Conference in Las Vegas last month.
