California — anchored by Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego, America’s largest state economy with a GDP exceeding $3.4 trillion — is one of the world’s most consequential battery markets. If California were an independent country, its economy would rank among the top five in the world. The state’s extraordinary concentration of technology companies, Hollywood entertainment industry, major ports, agricultural operations, and aggressive clean energy policies create a multifaceted and globally significant battery market.
California’s energy storage mandate — requiring utilities to deploy increasing amounts of energy storage — has created one of the world’s largest demand pools for deep-cycle batteries. The California Public Utilities Commission’s push for Behind-the-Meter and Front-of-Meter energy storage has driven solar-plus-storage adoption throughout the state. California’s Advanced Clean Cars II regulation, requiring 100% zero-emission vehicle sales by 2035, is accelerating electric vehicle adoption.
The Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach together form the nation’s largest port complex, handling over 17 million TEU annually and serving as the primary gateway for US-China trade. California’s aggressive zero-emission port equipment mandates are driving rapid adoption of electric motive power batteries for port operations.
