Met de opkomst van elektrische auto's krijgen accu leveranciers een steeds belangrijkere rol. Grote spelers zijn o.a. het Japanse Panasonic, het Zuid-Koreaanse LG Chem (tegenwoordig LG Energy) en het Chinese CATL. Verder zijn er nog diverse andere kapers op de kust.
De toenemende concurrentie leidt ook tot conflicten omdat niet altijd alles volgens de regels zou verlopen. In de VS heeft dit tot een zaak geleid tussen het Koreaanse LG Chem en SK Innovation.
SK Innovation EV Batteries Banned* For 10 Years By U.S. ITC
"The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) announced today a verdict in the court clash between two South Korean EV battery manufacturers: LG Chem and SK Innovation.
According to the announcement, SK Innovation EV battery business (importation, domestic production, and sale of batteries for electric vehicles) is banned in the U.S. for 10 years. However, to not harm its clients ( that were hoping to avoid a "catastrophic supply disruption" ), ITC allows the continuation of the Ford F-150 Electric program for 4 years, and Volkswagen ID.4 ( MEB ) program for 2 years, to give them time to find new suppliers."
