Trump could oversee an EV ‘battery boom’ — or bust @DavidFerris @MikeLeeFW @HMNorthey ✍️ @EENewsUpdates "President-elect @realDonaldTrump is known for attacking electric vehicle “mandates,” but what’s less clear is how he will affect the EV supply chain, from mining to recycling. Trump is expected to speed up permitting for new mines, and one analyst predicted a “Trump battery boom.” But mining is just one part of a long and complex battery supply chain that produces EVs. As president, Trump would affect every link in that chain — including industries he publicly has criticized. “Why build [EV] batteries if you’re not going to have the cars on which they run?” said Dan Becker, director of the Safe Climate Transport Campaign at the @CenterForBioDiv."
