Exawatt tracks over 220 companies in the lithium-ion battery supply chain for EVs and energy storage sectors. These inputs are used in our forecasting and cost modelling
Our bottom-up models and forecasts include data from the following:
- Detailed cost modelling for all stages of the battery supply chain, from material processing (including spodumene/brine, lithium hydroxide/carbonate, graphite anode material and cathode active material) through cell processing and battery integration
- Analysis of quarterly, semi-annual, and annual reports, initial public offering prospectuses and ad hoc financial disclosures from manufacturers in the battery supply chain
- Monitoring of lithium-ion battery material, cell specifications and manufacturer technology roadmaps
- Discussions with battery industry executives

Edward Rackley
Head of Energy StorageEdward Rackley
Ed uses his electrochemical materials knowledge to inform our supply chain analysis and bottom-up cost modelling. He has a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Sheffield, specialising in solid oxide fuel cell anodes. Ed’s industrial experience includes research into novel battery current collectors and spinel cathode synthesis.![](https://exa-watt.com/wp-content/uploads/Aaron-W.jpg)
Aaron Wade
Head of Battery CostsAaron Wade
Aaron leads CRU’s battery cost modelling, forecasting production costs of current and next-generation battery technologies, understanding when and how new technologies will affect the battery market.Prior to joining CRU, Aaron completed his PhD in lithium-ion battery degradation with the Faraday Institution at UCL. During this time he interned at Exawatt part-time for the duration of his studies. Aaron is a project director of “Battery Pub”, an online networking event for the battery community.
