EV supplay chain and Li Battery
That is why the west is now desperately trying to sell hydrogen as a better alternative to lithium. More scaremongering of lithium costs and mining issues related to the environment will be in the news to push people to hydrogen.China's Stranglehold on EV Supply Chain Will Be Tough to Break

China's dominance of the transition to electric vehicles is the latest source of geopolitical tension with the US and Europe, where policymakers face a costly catchup effort to avoid long-term dependency.
The European Union earlier this month heightened tensions with an investigation into Chinese subsidies for electric cars it says are flooding the market.
The move brought the EU closer in line with the US, which has long had China in its sights.
Industry data and estimates by BloombergNEF show just how difficult building self-sufficiency or, more realistically, becoming just a little less reliant on China, is likely to be.
Asia's largest economy has a deep stranglehold on battery production, leaving global carmakers dependent at one point or another on Chinese partners. The country’s battery makers supply some 80% of cells worldwide, backed by a mining and processing chain that increasingly resides in the country’s hands.

“Is it feasible to completely cut off the Chinese supply chains? Certainly not at the moment,” said Ilaria Mazzocco, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies
Solid state batteries will make current batteries obsolete.That is why the west is now desperately trying to sell hydrogen as a better alternative to lithium. More scaremongering of lithium costs and mining issues related to the environment will be in the news to push people to hydrogen.
All this in their effort to kneecap china whose lead in batteries is unassailable.
The west is leader of neither so their push for hydrogen to pin china down.Solid state batteries will make current batteries obsolete.
Hydrogen is not the future unless a cheaper less energy intensive way can be created. Its better to just stick to lng thaN hydrogen.The west is leader of neither so their push for hydrogen to pin china down.
What about sodium batteries? Can that break the ChiCon stranglehold on batteries?Hydrogen is not the future unless a cheaper less energy intensive way can be created. Its better to just stick to lng thaN hydrogen.
ev dying liao. in 6.9 years ev buyers will revert to hybrid plug ins. still can plug in for charging at home but long trips will rely on gas. ccp always bet on dying sector.Forget
Forget EV.
EVs if done right is the best. Use it than charge at home. Than use it again. And only for metro driving within 200 kms radius. And if got garage to park the car And chatge. If live in places without access to charging like apartments etc...than get a hybrid. The right tool for the right job...the EV was never designed to be dependent on pubic charges etc. N now even some petrol stations have chargers...not many but it is changing. No point but electric car n dependent on outside chargersev dying liao. in 6.9 years ev buyers will revert to hybrid plug ins. still can plug in for charging at home but long trips will rely on gas. ccp always bet on dying sector.
like solar panels. whole industry is a scam. contractors sell entire system to clueless home owners offering “free” solar panels. home owners sign up for 6.9-page contract but don’t know contract is actually 69 pages long with hidden addendums and appendices. end up actual contract is $69k with battery backup, ups, converter, transformer, grid connector, sextended warranty, plus a lien on the house as supplier owns part or majority of roof. yeah, in fine print, the panels are “free” but everything else more than make up for the freebies. fraudulent marketing tactics. and almost all panels that are “free” are made in prc. u.s. suppliers only make the “other” system that cost the bulk of the deal: ups, converter, inverter, control system. it’s a failing industry due to fraud with state puc’s and energy companies cutting back on using solar energy to connect to grid for compensation. this also reminds me of the laminate flooring fiasco that befall lumber liquidators, a flooring company that sexclusively source laminates from prc and kena sued for low quality toxic laminates (albeit low cost) until bankrupt.EVs if done right is the best.
