Should government subsidies be raised before issuance of lithium-ion batteries?

With the development of lithium-ion batteries, it is not only necessary to raise the standard for issuing government subsidies, but also to strengthen publicity before the issuance, and strengthen supervision after use, so as to guide social forces to supervise and improve the efficiency from the usage of subsidies funds.

Are Chinese lithium-ion battery companies using government subsidies to perform R&D?

However, the question of the companies is using government subsidies (GS) to perform R&D and its answer determines the effectiveness of government policies. Consequently, this paper seeks to answer this question through investigating Chinese lithium-ion battery (LiB) firms and the GS they receive through novel usage of information flow (IF).

What should the US government do about the lithium battery market?

The U.S. government must take actions to enhance the expected returns on financial investments in U.S.‐based lithium battery supply chain‐related projects (e.g., battery materials, components, cells, or manufacturing equipment) and reduce the perception of demand uncertainty in the U.S. battery market.

Should lithium-based batteries be a domestic supply chain?

Establishing a domestic supply chain for lithium-based batteries requires a national commitment to both solving breakthrough scientific challenges for new materials and developing a manufacturing base that meets the demands of the growing electric vehicle (EV) and stationary grid storage markets.

How can the government improve lithium-ion battery innovation?

First, optimize the government’s subsidy method for lithium-ion battery, and at the same time, improve the subsidy methods, such as granting more subsidies to companies with strong R&D capabilities, and guide companies to increase R&D investment and promote lithium-ion battery companies to improve their innovation capabilities.

How can the US protect a North American lithium battery supply chain?

To protect U.S. security and critical interests on several fronts, the U.S. government must act immediately to support the timely development of a North American lithium battery supply chain based on U.S. know-how and free from the threat of foreign supply constraints. III. The Li-Bridge Initiative
