What it is
What is the Global EV Battery Plant Projects Database?
A market intelligence platform tracking cell, cathode, anode, and recycling plants worldwide, from the first incentive application and site option through permitting, process design, construction, equipment install, qualification, and yield ramp. Every record carries verified investment values, annual GWh capacity, chemistry, timelines, stakeholders, tenders, and decision-maker contacts.
Equipment makers, materials suppliers, EPCs and automakers use it to find cell plants while equipment is still being ordered, match chemistry to their product, and follow each plant to start of production.
Find projects first
Coverage begins with incentive applications, site agreements, grid and water capacity requests and automaker supply announcements, read in the local language before a plant is confirmed.
Know every stakeholder
Cell manufacturer, automaker partner, EPC, and electrode, formation and dry-room equipment suppliers are mapped to each plant with verified contacts.
Act at the right stage
Each plant carries its stage, from site selection and incentive award through construction and equipment installation to start of production, with an alert when a watched plant reaches its next phase.
Prove it before you bid
Annual GWh, chemistry and equipment awards are reconciled against two independent sources and cited, so announced capacity can be checked before anyone plans against it.

Project Density by Region
Where the tracked pipeline actually sits. Counts come straight from the live database and are compared against the busiest region, not against a total: the regions overlap, so they are never added together.
Bars are scaled to the busiest region. A project in a country belonging to more than one grouping is counted in each, so these figures are not additive.
