A year ago, we launched The Electric to cover one of the most important—and least reported—new sectors in technology: batteries and electric vehicles. On September 8th, we’ll celebrate our anniversary with a special event on perhaps the most important challenge facing the industry—building a battery supply chain not reliant on China.

Our guest for this 12 pm PT / 3 pm ET live chat will be Robert Galyen, a foremost leader of the U.S. effort to establish an American battery industry, and formerly CTO of China’s Contemporary Amperex Technology Ltd, the world’s largest battery company.
