Notes

BESS = battery energy storage system. Pattern (dashes) indicates manufacturing capacity primarily intended for BESS, while solid colours represent capacity primarily targeting electric vehicles. For companies headquartered in a country but owned by companies headquartered in a second country, the headquarters of the owning company is considered for this analysis. The manufacturing capacity of joint ventures is shared as a function of ownership shares as of the end of March 2026.
