Mind the private financing gap in North American EV supply chain

C-suite executives from several firms contributing to the regionalisation of EV supply chains in North America have highlighted the need to boost private financing in the industry to deliver on this objective.

Speaking at a webinar hosted by Canada’s EV supply chain alliance Accelerate and US non-profit the Zero Emission Transportation Association, Austin Devaney, chief communications officer (CCO) at Australian mining firm Piedmont Lithium, says that it “really is critical” to bridge the $50bn private financing gap that exists in the US and Canada.
