Status and Development Strategies of Electric Vehicle Supply Chain and Charging Stations in China and the U.S.

The market for electric vehicles (EVs) is rising rapidly in China and the United States. This study systematically explores key aspects of the EV supply chain and the impacts related to charging stations through a literature review and case study analysis. Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL) is used as a case study to analyze its success factors in the battery supply chain. It is found that innovative technology and a globalized layout are the main factors driving the development of the supply chain. Through data analysis, EV sales and the number of charging stations in China and the United States are compared, revealing their correlation. Constructive suggestions to promote the EV and charging station industries are put forward to foster the healthy development of the EV supply chain.
