OPEC is a possibility because ease of access to petrofuels was very sporadic, but the same is not true for battery chemistries, sodium and iron batteries are being used for storage scale and even some transport cases [0][1] and even lithium can be extracted from sea water [2]. Given how ubiquitous those 3 things are, there'll be a pretty hard ceiling/competition amongst different options. I suspect we'll encounter something more like agricultural cartels than petrostate cartels.
