Will the United States be a battery manufacturer? The strategy is different from that of Europe.
The United States wants to become a battery manufacturing country again, by creating a national energy storage supply chain.
In the past, American manufacturers had created the new energy storage technologies. Now they rely heavily on other countries for their storage equipment. Tesla's car and network batteries use cells from Japanese manufacturer Panasonic.
The US Department of Energy (DOE) wants to create by 2030 "a secure, domestically manufactured supply chain that is independent of foreign sources of critical materials".
