Its not just about building batteries, you need to have customers to sell those batteries to, and China is both the world's largest auto market and the world's biggest EV market, by far. Japan and South Korea used to get around small domestic market by exporting to the US, but senile American politicians still mentally live in a world where the US has the largest market, and between open hostility toward China and IRA against Europe, basically killed any prospect of American batteries being exported anywhere, guaranteeing any effort to make batteries in the US will commercially fail and rely on subsidies forever.
The US doesn't rely on export driven growth and batteries are pain to export/import anyways. In our era, most battery inventions at the chemistry-level atleast took place in the US/Canada but conventional globalism thinking said that such high input cost and low margin business be commercialised by regions with cheap labour costs/currency. The inflation reduction act is important for pushing the many great start-ups and scientists to build locally rather than licensing away tech to the benefit of Asia like during the globalism era. It is also very protectionist against China specifically, as people forget China banned Japanese/Korean battery companies from being able to operate locally last decade inorder to nurture a homegrown industry.

EV makers should be _required_ to implement battery recycling programs themselves and include that as part of the full lifecycle cost in the sticker price of a vehicle.
Imagine if everything you bought had to have some type of sticker price added to it for some form of recycling or lifecycle. In the end, it just ends up in the landfill anyways on a never ending assembly line where they never get to recycling the product and it ends up in a landfill.
Many U.S. politicians and media often play up how highly polluting the production of raw materials for battery refining, yet in reality they are not very polluting, both phosphorus and lithium are extremely high content of materials within the earth's crust. And the U.S. production of common shale gas, shale oil, for example, not only wastes a lot of water, but also will pollute the soil and groundwater, but few U.S. media and politicians will mention him.

It is a blessing in disguise to the environment the. US doesn't have the materials to make batteries, and is forced to focus on R&D in recycling. Hope can scale it up for whole world to follow.
China is way ahead of USA with evs and also ev batteries production. USA cannot catch up now they too slow and bloated. Instead of confronting china why not join their auto sector and let western consumer purchase BYD evs tariff free and tax free.
Thats why Other companies or countries dont rely on American company for EV batteries, because for its simple reason.. avoiding geopolitical concern that would band or tariff which may lead to shortages in companies production.
The United States is facing significant challenges in raw material processing for the electric vehicle (EV) battery industry. China currently holds a dominant position in the global supply chain for EV batteries, from raw material processing to parts production. One of the challenges faced by the United States is bureaucracy, including regulatory and environmental hurdles, which can hinder the establishment of chemical processing facilities and mining operations for raw materials. Local opposition and labor and supply chain issues can also pose challenges to the development of domestic mines and processing facilities. Additionally, most of the minerals used in EV batteries are imported from other countries, such as Australia, Indonesia, and Congo, which further complicates the supply chain for the U.S. Efforts are being made to address these challenges and promote domestic EV battery production in the United States. The U.S. government has introduced policies such as tax credits and subsidies to encourage battery manufacturing facilities. Some U.S. automakers are also partnering with battery manufacturers or investing in their own battery production facilities to gain more control over their supply chains. In addition, there is a growing focus on alternative sources of materials, such as recycling used batteries and extracting valuable metals. However, scalability and efficiency of these processes can be limitations. Research and development (R&D) investments are needed to further advance recycling technologies and improve the circular economy for EV batteries. To establish itself as a leader in the EV battery industry, the United States needs significant investments in R&D, infrastructure, and regulatory frameworks to overcome the challenges it faces. This includes addressing environmental objections, obtaining necessary permits, and building strong international partnerships for raw material procurement. Collaborative efforts among government, industry, and other stakeholders will be critical to drive innovation, overcome barriers, and catch up to China's dominance in the EV battery industry. In conclusion, the United States faces challenges in various stages of EV battery production, particularly in raw material processing, and efforts are being made to boost domestic production. However, significant investments, innovation, and collaborative efforts are needed to overcome these challenges and establish the United States as a leader in the EV battery industry, challenging China's current dominance. 米国にとっての別の課題は、原材料の処理です。 現在、米国はこれをほとんど行っておらず、中国が世界のリーダーとなっています。 米国での化学処理施設の建設は、官僚主義、地元の反対、労働力やサプライチェーンの問題により、複雑になる可能性があります。 さらに、EVバッテリーに使用される鉱物のほとんどは、米国や中国では採掘されず、オーストラリア、インドネシア、コンゴなどの他の国から輸入されています。 中国はこれらの国々と強固な関係を築き、原材料の安定供給を確保しており、米国は国内での新しい鉱山の建設や国際的なパートナーシップの構築を試みています。 しかし、どちらのアプローチにも、環境への反対や許可取得の難しさなどの課題があります。 一部の企業は、使用済みバッテリーを回収してリサイクルし、貴重な金属を抽出するなど、材料の代替ソースを探しています。 しかしこのアプローチには、スケーラビリティや効率の面での制限があります。 全体として、米国は、EVバッテリー産業における中国の優位性に対抗するという大きな課題に直面しています。特に、部品の生産や原材料の加工など、サプライチェーンの初期段階で顕著です。 これらの課題にもかかわらず、米国ではEVバッテリーの生産を促進するための努力が行われています。 たとえば、米国政府は、税額控除やバッテリー製造施設への助成金など、EVバッテリーの国内生産を奨励する政策を導入しています。 一部の米国の自動車メーカーは、バッテリーメーカーと提携したり、自社のバッテリー生産施設に投資して、サプライチェーンをさらに管理したりしています。 中国が現在、世界のEVバッテリー業界を支配しており、一方で米国は遅れを取り、外国のバッテリーに大きく依存しています。米国は、中国の業界支配に追いつくために、EVバッテリー生産のさまざまな段階での課題に直面しています。国内のEVバッテリー生産を促進するための努力はなされていますが、中国の地位に挑戦し、EVバッテリー業界のリーダーとしての地位を確立するには、多額の投資とイノベーションが必要です。規制や環境に関する課題を克服することが重要です。これにより、中国の優位性に追いつくことができるでしょう。また、コンポーネントの生産や原材料の加工、調達などのバッテリー生産のサプライチェーンに関しても、取り組む必要があります。米国が中国の業界支配に対抗し、EVバッテリー産業のリーダーとしての地位を確立するには、研究開発、インフラストラクチャ、規制および環境の課題を克服するために多額の投資が必要とされます。
US can definitely challenge China if they impose sanctions on high tech such as chips that are used in car makers. at this moment, it maybe difficult as car makers need only 28 nm chips, but car industries would upgrade, high end chips would be used in next auto driving generation. sanction would force chinese car out of mid/high range market share. plus some forced exclusive global rules
Just a random thought. It is easy to foul up US battery plan. Someone can fund some American environmental groups who are against the mining and processing of the materials for making EV batteries. Litigations can take many years tying up the plan for a long time.
China is not a leading country for the high-nickel batteries, which are high performance batteries. Korean companies like EcoProBM, LG chemical are leading the high-nickel batteries. China is only good for cheap, low-performance LFP batteries.

The US has plans to destroy the Atiwa Forest in Ghana because it has Lithium reserves. It's a biodiverse tropical rain forest and is the source for a number of important rivers.

According to bbc CNN cbc skynews, China has been collapsing for decades!!😂😂😂😂😂
short answer is no
China is way ahead of USA with evs and also ev batteries production.
USA cannot catch up now they too slow and bloated. Instead of confronting china why not join their auto sector and let western consumer purchase BYD evs tariff free and tax free.
Why invest in the development of EV batteries? Just develop more lethal weapons and invade other countries like US has always been doing.
Thats why Other companies or countries dont rely on American company for EV batteries, because for its simple reason.. avoiding geopolitical concern that would band or tariff which may lead to shortages in companies production.
I like how they describe this video as if we were kids and we need to know what ABC is and what is 123 😂
US inventors were in favor of FinTech rather than making batteries. Moving money around is the easiest way to make even more money when you are rich.
Thanks, really interesting, but this should really be turned into a 1 hour comprehensive analysis!
yes, one with facts

Ioneer Ltd is trying to fix this with a Lithium facility at Nevada.
You gotta start somewhere!
The United States is facing significant challenges in raw material processing for the electric vehicle (EV) battery industry. China currently holds a dominant position in the global supply chain for EV batteries, from raw material processing to parts production.
One of the challenges faced by the United States is bureaucracy, including regulatory and environmental hurdles, which can hinder the establishment of chemical processing facilities and mining operations for raw materials. Local opposition and labor and supply chain issues can also pose challenges to the development of domestic mines and processing facilities. Additionally, most of the minerals used in EV batteries are imported from other countries, such as Australia, Indonesia, and Congo, which further complicates the supply chain for the U.S.
Efforts are being made to address these challenges and promote domestic EV battery production in the United States. The U.S. government has introduced policies such as tax credits and subsidies to encourage battery manufacturing facilities. Some U.S. automakers are also partnering with battery manufacturers or investing in their own battery production facilities to gain more control over their supply chains.
In addition, there is a growing focus on alternative sources of materials, such as recycling used batteries and extracting valuable metals. However, scalability and efficiency of these processes can be limitations. Research and development (R&D) investments are needed to further advance recycling technologies and improve the circular economy for EV batteries.
To establish itself as a leader in the EV battery industry, the United States needs significant investments in R&D, infrastructure, and regulatory frameworks to overcome the challenges it faces. This includes addressing environmental objections, obtaining necessary permits, and building strong international partnerships for raw material procurement. Collaborative efforts among government, industry, and other stakeholders will be critical to drive innovation, overcome barriers, and catch up to China's dominance in the EV battery industry.
In conclusion, the United States faces challenges in various stages of EV battery production, particularly in raw material processing, and efforts are being made to boost domestic production. However, significant investments, innovation, and collaborative efforts are needed to overcome these challenges and establish the United States as a leader in the EV battery industry, challenging China's current dominance.
米国にとっての別の課題は、原材料の処理です。 現在、米国はこれをほとんど行っておらず、中国が世界のリーダーとなっています。 米国での化学処理施設の建設は、官僚主義、地元の反対、労働力やサプライチェーンの問題により、複雑になる可能性があります。 さらに、EVバッテリーに使用される鉱物のほとんどは、米国や中国では採掘されず、オーストラリア、インドネシア、コンゴなどの他の国から輸入されています。 中国はこれらの国々と強固な関係を築き、原材料の安定供給を確保しており、米国は国内での新しい鉱山の建設や国際的なパートナーシップの構築を試みています。 しかし、どちらのアプローチにも、環境への反対や許可取得の難しさなどの課題があります。
一部の企業は、使用済みバッテリーを回収してリサイクルし、貴重な金属を抽出するなど、材料の代替ソースを探しています。 しかしこのアプローチには、スケーラビリティや効率の面での制限があります。 全体として、米国は、EVバッテリー産業における中国の優位性に対抗するという大きな課題に直面しています。特に、部品の生産や原材料の加工など、サプライチェーンの初期段階で顕著です。
これらの課題にもかかわらず、米国ではEVバッテリーの生産を促進するための努力が行われています。 たとえば、米国政府は、税額控除やバッテリー製造施設への助成金など、EVバッテリーの国内生産を奨励する政策を導入しています。 一部の米国の自動車メーカーは、バッテリーメーカーと提携したり、自社のバッテリー生産施設に投資して、サプライチェーンをさらに管理したりしています。
中国が現在、世界のEVバッテリー業界を支配しており、一方で米国は遅れを取り、外国のバッテリーに大きく依存しています。米国は、中国の業界支配に追いつくために、EVバッテリー生産のさまざまな段階での課題に直面しています。国内のEVバッテリー生産を促進するための努力はなされていますが、中国の地位に挑戦し、EVバッテリー業界のリーダーとしての地位を確立するには、多額の投資とイノベーションが必要です。規制や環境に関する課題を克服することが重要です。これにより、中国の優位性に追いつくことができるでしょう。また、コンポーネントの生産や原材料の加工、調達などのバッテリー生産のサプライチェーンに関しても、取り組む必要があります。米国が中国の業界支配に対抗し、EVバッテリー産業のリーダーとしての地位を確立するには、研究開発、インフラストラクチャ、規制および環境の課題を克服するために多額の投資が必要とされます。
US can definitely challenge China if they impose sanctions on high tech such as chips that are used in car makers. at this moment, it maybe difficult as car makers need only 28 nm chips, but car industries would upgrade, high end chips would be used in next auto driving generation. sanction would force chinese car out of mid/high range market share. plus some forced exclusive global rules
@@wonderland2016 Absolutely not. Chinese companies makes everything in the supply chain.
@@wonderland2016 China can just use their own 7nm chips
@@wonderland2016china doesn’t produce high quality chips.
Does this battery link to wifi？
Just a random thought. It is easy to foul up US battery plan. Someone can fund some American environmental groups who are against the mining and processing of the materials for making EV batteries. Litigations can take many years tying up the plan for a long time.
This tactic has been used by Hong Kong "activist" to delay the construction of Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge.
The people who made this video just don't understand batteries and the difference between NCM and LFP.
Why worry! America is the innovative power house! America is number I
😂😂😂😂
China is not a leading country for the high-nickel batteries, which are high performance batteries. Korean companies like EcoProBM, LG chemical are leading the high-nickel batteries. China is only good for cheap, low-performance LFP batteries.
@@SA.................. Sorry buddy, but Panasonic is going to be a niche player.
This is the stark difference btw Strategic Long Term Planning vs Chaotic "Democratic" Debating + Interest Group Battling!
In US, you have a lot of noises, protests, etc. In China, as long as it’s benefiting the economy, China will do it
NO, more importantly, US lacks education and talents, and technology
Ha: Legacey auto is still running around trying to catch it's tail....

I don’t think so
Most lithium areas are Chile desert and Australia deserts
Warren Buffett, GM and others looking into lithium as a byproduct using geothermal energy Salton sea. Geothermal electric plant powers cities but lots of lithium brine which can be harvested
China's batteries have seriously affected the national defense security of the United States and stolen the privacy of American users. It is recommended that the US government take immediate measures to sanction Chinese battery suppliers.

USA 🇺🇸 vs China 🇨🇳 I pick China 🇨🇳 every time ⌚. Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan 🇵🇰
The US has plans to destroy the Atiwa Forest in Ghana because it has Lithium reserves. It's a biodiverse tropical rain forest and is the source for a number of important rivers.
Battery Production is considered as hazardous and the wiser choose not to go for it as indirect cost associated with recycling is much higher than producing it locally. GM exported then produced EV to China which was highly unpopular comes with numerous manufacturing faults.
But the Chinese-built battery lacks democracy.
Hahahahaha
Price is king. If they are price cheaper or equal to chinese battery then they will sell well.
The U.S. can’t catch up! The revisions hamstrings any company to death. Wishful thinking
USA grew for decades on the backs of global talents coming to USA for study and work. It's sad to see US is no longer a choice for global best talents. Politics and woke idealogy is too much to handle. Thank yi🎉
They invested in african mines decades ago when no one was even bothered about it, they concentrate on long term plans and now they are getting their reward.
You can't never take my gas stove!!
I hope US and other countries combine to set up manufacturing plants and R&D funding to make supply more diversified.
Yes I agree especially when it comes to semicon machines!
you really do think the other countries like American?LOL
China is the largest consumer market and the largest EV market. So your imagined end product will be a failed cause. 1.4 billion population with high ratio of STEM degree, it will soon become largest consumer market for almost everything. 😂
Well, what's the point? We had a good system, free trade, US is the one banning and sanctioning others, causing this supply chain problem. Making the supply more diversified? How about stop banning others?
other countries, lol
TOP G
No
No not a chance
We have all these minerals in Kenya and Congo is just a few hundred kilometers away. Labor is very cheap and available and regulations are more relaxed. Why can't the US build their production plants in a country like mine?
US does not invest in Africa. US just wants to loan money to Africa at higher interest than China does. China actually builds infrastructure in Africa.
Is Maxwell dry manufacturing process compatible with LFP or does it only work with NCA batteries?
the interesting thing is BOTH dry and wet battery manufacturing processes are thriving in china with different types of batteries. CATL has both for instance... So does the second biggest maker in china.
Better to do it right than fast. Apart from bragging rights, there is no need to move so fast into electrification. The world isn't going to end if we take the time to transition more naturally, by taking into account the various interests involved (labour, safety, environment, quality, etc)
US could just ban them like the other Chinese companies making their mark in industries. National Security or something.
Learning from China itself I guess
@@edwardr8826 Yeah China totally bans US companies like Apple and Tesla.
They can't because they dosen't have any alternative like Apple replacing Huawei. Same for DJI, they isn't any other good alternative to replace DJI
So that's the reason RUclips, Facebook, Whatsapp, Signal, Twitter, and 10000s of other apps/companies are all banned in China!.
US can't ban Chinese businesses with new technologies since China has patents and know-how and US doesn't 😂😂😂😂
Unlike things like Chip making technologies started 50 years ago in US when Chinese were poor and backwards, so they don't have the Chip making patents or know-how.
So how could US ban China with the new technologies that they don't have patents and know-how?😂😂😂

U.S. Can just use gasoline cars. who cares
The US wants to ban gasoline cars. The US is taking electric vehicles seriously.
Only if Americans drive a Prius or hybrid vehicle. Gas Guzzling trucks/suv are the problem.
No. I am tired of having to hear and smell those exhaust on the road. It's time for a change for us and the environment
It's early to predict the scale of EV battery manufacturing in US, over $128 billion of investments in EV battery plants have been announced in the last few years, $73bn in 2022 alone, there are going to be more investments in the upcoming years.
Batteries, the new oil.
US needs to scratch these regulations.
CATL is basically TSMC but for EV batteries
not really... there are alternatives for CATL, but no alternatives for TSMC
@@johnsmith-cw3wo the only alternative I can think of is BYD. The rest are just bad.
And TSMC do have alternative. Samsung and Intel is other example. Although Intel is fallen behind a bit
@@Rex-ww4cw Intel can't make 7nm work with EUV, there are mainland chinese companies that managed to get 7nm with DUV.
@@Rex-ww4cw : CATL and BYD will be #1 and #2 in China; LG Chem, SKI, Samsung SDI will be #1, #2, #3 in the US and the rest of the world (outside China).
@@tooltalkdid you check south america, africa, russia, middle east...? Or only the white countries count?
When it comes to batteries, the US vs China are like David vs Goliath. The US seems weak, but with Tesla, Musk and many innovative companies, the future is just like history, David defeated Goliath. KAG!

Challenge China's EV batteries? Yes of course, only in your ........dream. Dream on.
in short: nope
LFP batteries no cobalt and nickel. Newest LFP M3P battery almost 20% more range. LFP love 100% charges and last longer than lithium ion(NCM/NCA) almost one million mile batteries
This is another "national security concern."
This is really concerning 😢. I did not know that us is that far behind . Monopoly is not for anyone
Because America is busy making war weapons and starting wars in other parts of the world
China's electric vehicle power battery technology is at least five years ahead of the United States.
China will also launch the world's first sodium-ion power cell this year.
That's good b/c China is at least 3-4 years behind South Koreas in NMC -- which also happens to be the most popular chemistry in China. LOL
@@tooltalk Power battery global sales champion is China's CATL.
So yes, China's electric vehicle battery technology is at least 5 years ahead of South Korea's.
BYD's blade battery technology is even far ahead of its Korean counterpart.
@@parkjoonkwang9259 : Honey, as I said earlier, most EVs in China are running on NCMs pioneered by LG Chem. CATL is the largest battery maker in China and NCM is their bread and butter -- they are roughly 65% NCM and 35% LFP. LFP's are for entry-level, low performance, short range EVs or stationary energy storage whereas NCMs are used in performance / high-end EVs. The rumor also has it that Tesla is dropping BYD because of fires in their blade LFPs.
@@tooltalk Oh really ?
Give me evidence of a burning and exploding blade battery.
Blade batteries are well received around the world, and many German automotive experts appreciate them. The blade battery has withstood the test for several years.
What about your Korean battery?
Why I have not heard of any world famous battery products in Korea?
Why is a high-tech battery like the blade battery invented by the Chinese and not you Koreans?
lol.
@@tooltalk Why is the global sales champion not LG, but CALT?
Why did the LG battery you bragged about lose to CALT?
Today one big battery cost $1.5 , i stop using my flashlight.

Which vehicle has the most American made parts?
Tesla dominates the list of most American-made cars
Rank Make/Model. U.S. Assembly Location
1. Tesla Model Y Fremont, Calif. Austin, Texas
2. Tesla Model 3 Fremont, Calif.
Your little list didn't even support your own point. Your question is about where the parts are made, not where the car is assembled
USA doesn't have skilled labour to produced their own parts.
They imported parts from other countries and Assembled in their factories, like a LEGO.
Lol
The batteries are at the heart of all EVs -- Tesla is trying to bring more Chinese LFP's to America.
This is a no contest, when it comes to kicking economic goals, China is in the premier league whereas the U.S. is struggling to survive in the champions league.
In my opinion, globalization is a trend and has been proved by the significant achievements in the latest hundred years. Let’s cooperate together and win-win in the business.
