Comment on Biden Administration Is Said to Slow Early Stage of Shift to Electric Cars
dragontamer@lemmy.world 7 months agoThe geopolitical calculus here is about manufacturing.
If China owns EV production lines, that gives them the drone advantage in the next war, as the Li-ion battery is the hard thing to make in a drone.
If USA has EV lines, even if it’s more expensive, we have the resources to make drones as well. (Or Li-ion batteries in other useful weapons).

Li-ion cells, computers, solar panels… all of these are american inventions that capitalist entities moved to China to maximize profits.
