Communist China already has power over America as much of the products we buy come from there. Do we want to be dependent on China even more by replacing the American driver’s dependence on Middle Eastern oil with an equally problematic reliance on Chinese battery materials?

whoever wrote this article needs to be fired.

15 new EV battery manufacturing plants are being built in the US by US car companies and independent companies.

The cites they are being built and by whom is in the article.

Most EV companies plan to move away from lithium and go solid state anyway.

What’s the plan if I have to evacuate from a hurricane or I get stuck in a snow storm on the highway or any other immediate emergency and the battery goes flat?

The “Real Brake on The EV Revolution” is the fact that very few consumers want EV’s.

Need to build a battery industry. Double the grid. Double the power industry. Triple the waste industry (lithium batteries and photovoltaics).

What took a hundred years to be built in infrastructure, will be accomplished in five years. No problemo.

Batteries are stupid. Even super-caps are only marginally better.

Find a way to GENERATE on-board -e and you will kill the ICE in less than a year.
