Joe Biden and other Green New Deal advocates continue to push for electric vehicles but without the necessary domestic supply of batteries.
For now, the United States is dependent on the Chinese Communist Party for the necessary critical minerals and other elements needed to build them.
The two most essential and expensive components of lithium-ion batteries, cathodes and anodes, are almost exclusively produced in China.
According to Axios, the U.S. is behind Europe and China in its battery capabilities:
Demand for batteries will skyrocket over the coming decades. If the U.S. wants to control its own energy destiny, it’ll need a secure, resilient supply chain for critical minerals and other components.
“If we don’t do this, if we don’t as a country invest in our supply chain, it will go to the lowest-cost country, which is China,” says Michael O’Kronley, CEO of Ascend Elements, a battery recycling company.
President Biden wants half of all vehicles sold in the U.S. to be electric by 2030. But the U.S. has only about 5% of the manufacturing capacity needed to hit that target, Jigar Shah, head of the Energy Department’s Loan Programs Office, told Reuters.

Thus China and Russia's strategy is to destroy the hegemony of the US Dollar.
I’m for destroying U.S. dullards. Mostly libgressives and some psuedo conservatives.
I went to a one room school.
I have led a fairly simple life.
EVEN I know that we cannot do much without Rare Earth materials from China—and we get stymied in trying to mine that here.
A lot of rare earth metals come from Russia.
Then it is better to break with both sooner rather than later.
I’ve taken steps so I never have to buy their goofy battery cars 🤪
Good luck to the rest of you
This dependency is the PURPOSE of the push for green crappola. Buying from the CCP is how the polticos and their relatives get their cut.

“A lot of rare earth metals come from Russia.”
1/10 OF US production.

Is everyone just finding this out now?
Here’s nearly the ENTIRE reason for the EV putsch.
PS - have fun replacing your batteries when they bite the dirt like your cell phone 🤪
They have performance like that for like two minutes, tops.
Then you’re done racing... so not a performance car.
Sorry.
You’re a goofball if you think people are going to be running around in non existent prototype experiments like that 🤪
The typical family will struggle to buy a simple grocery getter
Put that at Le Mans, and watch it burn not even TEN MINUTES into the course.
Ten minutes *tops* in a road race.
Feature not glitch/ bug.
( and TalyBiden probably gets %10 )
