Global automakers are racing to secure rare earths and battery materials before China’s new export restrictions take effect— a clear sign of how fragile the EV supply chain has become.
At Ascend Elements, we’re working to strengthen that supply chain with sustainable, U.S.-based production of critical battery materials.
