🔋 The "Green Paradox" of EV Batteries: Clean cars, complex supply chains
Our latest Auto Intelligence episode with Steve and Claire tackles one of the automotive industry's most pressing challenges - the environmental trade-offs in EV battery production. While battery manufacturing accounts for nearly 2/3 of an EV's upfront emissions, lifecycle analysis shows EVs still produce half the emissions of gas vehicles.
Key insights from our deep dive: • Global battery demand will grow almost 7x by 2035 (IEA Global EV Outlook 2024) • Lithium extraction uses 500,000 gallons of water per ton • Cobalt recycling could meet 40% of demand by 2035 • EV battery recycling market: $540M → $23.7B by 2035
The path to sustainable mobility isn't simple, but the solutions are emerging through innovation in recycling, mining practices, and manufacturing processes. The companies mastering sustainable supply chains will lead the next decade.
Listen to the full episode for insights on second-life batteries, solid-state technology, and why this challenge represents our industry's greatest opportunity.

Auto Agentic (www.autoagentic.ai) is an automotive intelligence company architecting how AI actually operates across dealership organizations.
Founded in 2024, Auto Agentic was created to solve a problem no vendor was addressing: automotive didn’t lack AI tools—it lacked intelligence architecture. As features multiplied, coordination worsened, insight fragmented, and transformation stalled.
Auto Agentic exists to change that.
We design agentic intelligence systems that unify operations, coordinate data and workflows, and enable organizations to move from fragmented automation to connected, predictive, and self-improving intelligence.
Our work is built on three foundations:
• the Automotive Intelligence Pyramid
• a coordinated agentic architecture of 75+ automotive-native agents
• and systematic transformation partnerships
Auto Agentic is SOC 2 Type II certified and trusted in regulated environments.
We don’t deliver tools. We build operating intelligence.
We partner with dealer groups and OEMs to architect how intelligence flows across their organizations—creating companies that coordinate rather than hand off, predict rather than react, and build advantages that compound over time.
