Quirks

reads the same vendored workbook as nrel_naatbatt; the operator vendors it once under data/raw/nrel_naatbatt/<vintage>/
only the cell sheet is read - module/pack GWh would double-count the same cells; upstream tabs report tonnes (supply-side)
feeds the cell-intrinsic battery proxies (Li/Co/Ni/Mn/graphite); motor REEs + harness copper await an EV-vehicle deployment source
