Chevron has no involvement in producing battery materials or cells:In June 2025, Chevron acquired lithium leaseholds in the Smackover Formation (Texas/Arkansas) for potential direct lithium extraction (DLE), aiming for domestic lithium supply to support batteries (no production yet; early-stage evaluation).
Investments via Chevron Technology Ventures include backing Natron Energy (sodium-ion battery company; e.g., supporting their North Carolina factory plans) and ElectraLith (low-cost lithium tech, ~$17M Series A in early 2025).
Other efforts involve energy storage partnerships or hydrogen-related storage, but nothing involving manufacturing battery samples or cells.

Chevron supplies potential raw inputs (lithium) or invests in others who make batteries, but has produced no battery-related samples or prototypes itself.

So, much competition with deep pockets😔
