Capability. Control. Connections.

The aim is to help readers understand where capability sits, who controls it and how organisations and places connect, while keeping the evidence behind each observation visible.

We are preparing seven connected sections covering research, suppliers, factories, users, capital, recovery and regulation. The content pages and data downloads are temporarily unavailable while their evidence is reviewed.

Battery Observer is published by Afseth Millar Limited. Send corrections and editorial enquiries to [email protected].

Include the page link, claim or record ID, the proposed correction and a supporting source or document page. We distinguish factual errors, new information and differences of interpretation. We cannot guarantee a response time.

Material corrections receive a dated note and are applied to related charts and downloadable records. Unsupported claims are removed while the evidence is assessed. Small spelling or formatting changes may be made without a correction note.

Correspondence goes to Afseth Millar rather than being posted publicly. Avoid unnecessary personal information and confidential documents. Any attribution of a contributor or private message requires agreement. Corrections are handled privately by email. Publisher privacy information.

Preserve the record behind the headline

Keep source URLs, supporting passages, evidence dates, observation periods and original values attached to each substantive claim.

Unknown is not zero

Distinguish undisclosed capacity, excluded records, no records found and confirmed absence. A partial documented sum is not a country total.

Separate fact, estimate and target

Keep operating capacity apart from future projects. Label targets and forecasts with their publisher, date, scenario and assumptions.

Compare like with like

Keep units, reference periods, technology boundaries and process stages consistent. Avoid adding overlapping sites, phases and company aggregates.

Publish qualifications with the numbers

Preserve lower bounds, ranges and uncertainty in exports and charts. Unverified quantities are excluded from public totals.

State the comparison boundary

Each view identifies its period, geography, technology and measurement scope. Selected observations are not a complete industry census. Recorded affiliations, factory locations and company headquarters answer different questions.

Editorial correspondence is handled privately by Afseth Millar. Avoid unnecessary personal information and confidential documents.
