All high-end electric cars have two batteries. Automakers are pouring money into battery technologies in order to increase the range and capability of future electric vehicles. If you open the bonnet of a modern electric car, you will find a standard 12-volt automobile battery with the high voltage main battery.
Production in Europe and the United States reached 110 GWh and 70 GWh of EV batteries in 2023, and 2.5 million and 1.2 million EVs, respectively. In Europe, the largest battery producers are Poland, which accounted for about 60% of all EV batteries produced in the region in 2023, and Hungary (almost 30%).
There are so many cells in a typical EV battery that they retain capacity even after hundreds of thousands of miles; although they won’t perform as well as when box-fresh and new, they will keep holding charge for many, many years to come and the internet is full of high-mileage electric and hybrid cars still working well into their dotage.
When the battery capacity is less than 70%, it needs to be replaced by a new one, which is half of the price of a NEV. In the case of the BYD Tang, for example, the quotation in a 4S store for battery replacement is more than 50,000 yuan, which reflects the cost is high.
Expect new battery chemistries for electric vehicles and a manufacturing boost thanks to government funding this year.

The majority of battery demand for EVs today can be met with domestic or regional production in China, Europe and the United States. However, the share of imports remains relatively large in Europe and the United States, meeting more than 20% and more than 30% of EV battery demand, respectively.
