Nestled within Kings Mountain lies a rich deposit of lithium, among the largest in the United States. As leaders in battery technology and electric vehicles converge to establish research and manufacturing centers, North Carolina emerges as a frontrunner in advancing battery research, material processing, and end-to-end manufacturing. To foster collaborations between industry and academia, the BATT CAVE at the University of North Carolina, Charlotte, introduces the inaugural North Carolina Battery Technology Workshop (NCBTW). Covering topics ranging from lithium mining to electric vehicle production, we invite you to join us and discover the innovative work being done by North Carolina’s industry and academic leaders.
