From 7 to 9 October, The Battery Show North America 2025 will be held at Huntington Place in Detroit. Industry friends are warmly invited to join us.
North America's leading event for advanced battery and EV technology brings together the world's top new energy companies and technologies: more than 40,000 m² of exhibition space, over 1,000 suppliers and tens of thousands of visitors, covering advanced batteries and key power technologies for electric and hybrid vehicles as well as portable electronics, stationary energy storage and renewables.
INFOR will exhibit at booth 2234 with its most advanced bead mills, showing the world what Chinese bead mills can do. Friends travelling to or based in the US are welcome to visit.
Alongside the show we will visit key new energy materials customers. Many US companies have already shown strong interest in our bead mills, and we will discuss their needs and feedback in depth to further improve our products. We will also study the local market and culture to plan localized service for our bead mills.
INFOR has been very active in the US new energy market. Besides exhibiting frequently at US shows, we have established cooperation with local companies and research institutions, and our US office is being set up to bring Chinese bead mill technology and service to the US market.
The US is a major economy with huge new energy potential. Its EV supply chain spans upstream raw materials, midstream components and downstream vehicle production and after-sales service.
In the first half of this year the US sold 607,089 EVs, up 1.5% from the first half of 2024. Second-quarter sales were 310,839, down 6.3%, one of the few quarterly declines on record, partly because the federal tax credit is due to expire in September.
US industrial policy encourages automakers to invest in EV R&D and production, and subsidies and incentives have attracted many companies to build EV and battery plants. Tesla's Gigafactory in Nevada, for example, has created many jobs and strengthened the US EV supply chain.
Tesla's success has driven the US EV industry, and more companies are entering EV manufacturing, with General Motors and Ford launching several electric models and shifting to EV production.
Battery makers such as LG Chem and Samsung SDI have US plants, and Chinese companies including CATL, Envision AESC, Wanrun New Energy and Gotion are preparing US plants. The US also has technical strengths in motors and power electronics.
The US new energy industry also faces market, technology and infrastructure challenges, and will need a stronger supply chain and international cooperation for sustainable growth.
From 7 to 9 October we look forward to seeing you in Detroit to talk about Chinese bead mills and the US new energy market.
