GRC Hub


The accelerating push toward electrification - spanning EVs, batteries, fleets, clean energy, and critical infrastructure—demands robust Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) frameworks. These systems ensure that enterprises can scale rapidly while maintaining regulatory alignment, risk awareness, supply chain integrity, and operational resilience. GRC in this context isn't just about avoiding fines or passing audits - it's the connective tissue that supports innovation while managing the increasingly complex web of technical, legal, environmental, and ethical obligations.

GRC Scope in Electrification

  • EV Manufacturing & Gigafactories - Regulatory compliance (NHTSA, OSHA, EPA), battery safety, factory floor automation risk.
  • Battery Supply Chains - Sourcing ethics (cobalt, lithium), traceability, circularity, REACH/RoHS/WEEE compliance.
  • Autonomous & Commercial Fleets - AV-specific risk frameworks, FMCSA compliance, OTA updates, cybersecurity.
  • Energy Systems (DERs, BESS, Microgrids) - Grid interconnect standards, black-start resilience, FERC/NERC/CIP compliance.
  • Charging Infrastructure - Interoperability, EVSE standards (OCPP, ISO 15118), utility coordination.
  • Critical Minerals & Processing - EHS risk, geopolitical risk, conflict mineral tracking, trade/regulatory compliance.
  • Workforce & Robotics - Cobots, humanoids, industrial safety, AI governance, training/reskilling verification.

Governance Pillar

  • Enterprise policy frameworks across energy, AI, and automation.
  • Supply chain due diligence and source-of-origin governance.
  • ESG and sustainability reporting oversight.
  • Organizational alignment across engineering, legal, EHS, and operations.

Risk Pillar

  • Technical risk (thermal runaway, automation failure, energy downtime).
  • Cyber-physical security risk (ransomware, SCADA/ICS intrusion).
  • Operational risk (labor shortages, production delays, geopolitical shifts).
  • AI-driven systems risk (humanoids, robotaxi fleets, edge inferencing at scale).

Compliance Pillar

  • Standards: ISO 26262 (functional safety), ISO 15118 (EV charging), IEC 62443 (industrial cybersecurity).
  • Regulations: RoHS, REACH, WEEE, SEC climate disclosure, FERC/NERC.
  • Industry-specific: FMVSS for EVs, FAA for eVTOLs, UL certifications for ESS/EVSE.
  • Environmental: .

Why GRC Matters for Electrification

  • Risk = Reality: Energy volatility, battery fire risk, and global supply disruptions are not theoretical.
  • Regulatory pressure is rising: From Europe's Battery Passport to US SEC climate disclosures.
  • Complexity is exponential: AI, automation, and energy systems are converging into uncharted territory.
  • Trust is essential: For EV adoption, AI agents, and resilient clean energy systems to scale.

Tax Credits and Incentives

The "One Big, Beautiful Bill" Act (OBBBA) of 2025 ended the tax credits for new ($7,500) and used ($4,000) EVs on Sep 30, 2025. The Residential Clean Energy Credit for solar and renewables (30%) ends Dec 31, 2025. It also will curtail/shorten the lifespan of other clean energy related incentives. Here's what remains:

Ramifications of OBBBA

  • Expiration of EV tax credits (new & used)
  • New $250 registration fee for EVs and $100 for hybrids
  • Infrastructure funding shifts (NEVI pause)
  • Expiration of Residential Clean Energy Credit
  • Regulatory reversals (EPA rollbacks)
  • Projected impacts on adoption rates and emissions
  • Repeal of emission penalties for non-compliant automakers
  • 8.3 million fewer EVs on US roads by 2030
  • Battery cell and module credit phase-downs starting in 2026*
  • Critical mineral credits set to phase out starting in 2027*
  • Solar/wind component credits end as early as 2027*

*Ramifications of OBBBA on 45X

The 45X MPTC is a per-unit tax credit for each clean energy component domestically produced and sold by a manufacturer. It affects EV batteries, battery critical minerals, solar (PV) supply chains, and certain wind components.

  • Manufacturing - Disincentivizes reshoring of clean energy component production
  • Supply Chain - Makes U.S. battery and solar value chains less cost-competitive
  • Investment Risk - Lowers ROI for gigafactory and battery refining investments
  • Governance - Requires realignment of tax planning, CapEx modeling, and investor reporting
