Why it matters
The battery manufacturing context.
US battery-cell manufacturing capacity has roughly doubled every 18 months since 2022. Plants in this sector are foundational to the domestic electric-vehicle supply chain and to grid-scale energy storage required by the renewable build-out. Inflation Reduction Act §45X tax credits underwrite a significant fraction of the operating margin, making the economics workable at US labor costs.
