This time we have a special guest to give us a wider view of what is happening in the world of batteries. From the geopolitical pressures of manufacturing to the work that goes into developing batteries from raw material. I\u2019m your moderator Nick Finberg and I\u2019m joined by our host and expert Puneet Sinha. The two of us sat down with Roger Aktins of Electric Vehicles Outlook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this first half of our discussion, we\u2019ll dive into the changing role of government in the battery manufacturing space as well as some of the hurdles OEMs are dealing with in terms of the supply chain. Let\u2019s listen in and answer some questions about the battery industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What you\u2019ll learn:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The pressure on OEMs globally to compete with Chinese automakers and battery manufacturers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The value of multiple battery chemistries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The impact of state-level investment in emerging technologies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"bio-block row\">\n    <div class=\"col-3 order-first bio-pic\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2023\/04\/Puneet-Sinha-e1743097966978.jpg\" alt=\"Puneet Sinha \u2013 Host\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col-9 bio-info\">\n        <div class=\"bio-header\">\n            <h4 class=\"speakerintro\">Puneet Sinha \u2013 Host<\/h4>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-biography\">\n            <p><strong>Puneet Sinha<\/strong> is the Global Head of the Battery Industry for Siemens Digital Industries Software.<\/p>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-contact\">\n            <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/puneetksinha\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connect with Puneet on LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"bio-block row\">\n    <div class=\"col-3 order-first bio-pic\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2025\/10\/Roger-Atkins-e1760629388764.jpeg\" alt=\"Roger Atkins - Guest\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col-9 bio-info\">\n        <div class=\"bio-header\">\n            <h4 class=\"speakerintro\">Roger Atkins &#8211; Guest<\/h4>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-biography\">\n            <p><strong>Roger Atkins<\/strong> is the founder Electric Vehicles Outlook Ltd<\/p>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-contact\">\n            <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/rogeratkins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Follow Roger on LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"bio-block row\">\n    <div class=\"col-3 order-first bio-pic\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2023\/04\/Nick-Finberg-e1743097650395.jpg\" alt=\"Nick Finberg - Moderator\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col-9 bio-info\">\n        <div class=\"bio-header\">\n            <h4 class=\"speakerintro\">Nick Finberg &#8211; Moderator<\/h4>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-biography\">\n            <p>Technical marketing writer at Siemens Digital Industries Software, focussing on the Battery and Automotive industries<\/p>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-contact\">\n            <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/nicholasfinberg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connect with Nick on LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Battery Podcast is back for another two-part discussion.
