US and Canada Electric Vehicle Supply Chain Map

Scroll down on this page to use the US EV supply chain dashboard. It includes most relevant sites in the US and some additional sites in Canada and Mexico. The filters on the right side of the dashboard can be used to filter projects based on operating status, manufacturing sector, manufacturing product, company, location, government support, and date announced. The map, timeline, projected production levels, and table update based on the filters.

This database has been assembled by Jay Turner and students at Wellesley College. It includes sites in the EV supply chain from mine to factory. Information about sites is compiled from publicly available sources such as press releases, regulatory filings, zoning documents, and media coverage. The dataset is being updated regularly. The information included should be treated as estimates, based on publicly available information. Request access to the Google Sheets dataset using this link.

See our monthly post-IRA updates on Twitter: 6 months, 7 months, 8 months, 9 months, 10 months, 11 months, 12 months,13 months, 14 months, 15 months, 16 months, 17 months, 18 months, 19 months, and 20 months.
