The '''Federal Consortium for Advanced Batteries''' (FCAB) is a Department of Energy initiative launched in September 2020 to unite federal agencies in building a secure, domestic advanced battery ecosystem, emphasizing lithium-ion technologies critical for electric vehicles (EVs) and grid storage. Led by the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), FCAB aligns efforts across the Departments of Defense, Commerce, and State to address supply chain vulnerabilities—highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic—and counter reliance on foreign imports, notably from China.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.energy.gov/eere/articles/energy-department-and-other-federal-agencies-launch-federal-consortium-advanced |title=FCAB Launch |publisher=Department of Energy}}</ref> Part of the Energy Storage Grand Challenge, it has produced tools like the 2022 Pre-Application Battery Test Manual to standardize testing and foster innovation.
