It's a serious issue... Without the metal graphite, the $7 trillion electric vehicle transition would come to a screeching halt.

China dominates every stage of the graphite supply chain, threatening U.S. national security and economic prosperity. That's why the White House deemed graphite an essential mineral in 2022, recommending expansion of domestic mining. Measures like the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act are also incentivizing battery makers to use raw materials from North America.
