Overview

The battery is the new barrel. In the race to decarbonize, electrify, and dominate the next era of mobility, battery minerals have become the defining geopolitical and industrial resource of the 21st century. Battery Rush takes readers deep into the global supply chain-from the salt flats of Bolivia to the cobalt pits of Congo, from Chinese gigafactories to Nevada's recycling startups-revealing how lithium, nickel, graphite, and their cousins are reshaping not only the auto industry but global trade, labor, and power. Through frontline reportage, anonymized interviews, and accessible analysis, this book unpacks the science behind battery chemistries, the policies fueling mineral nationalism, and the breakthroughs that might rewrite the rules. It offers rare insight into the silent arms race between nations, automakers, startups, and regulators-all vying for control of the components that will drive every EV, grid, drone, and data center in a post-oil world. Battery Rush isn't just a story about the future of transport. It's a story about the future of everything.
