"The United States has just passed a series of laws so that electric vehicle manufacturers must source, as of 2023, at least two-fifths of the materials for their car batteries in their own country, use recycled inputs or purchase them from nations with which they have free trade agreements, such as Canada, Chile and Australia.

This requirement is part of a broad bill that includes climate and clean energy policies and standards on materials for electric vehicle batteries, such as cobalt, lithium, nickel and graphite.

The guidelines exclude Indonesia and Argentina, two suppliers of key metals - nickel and lithium, respectively - and increase the material supply target to 80% by 2026. Automakers had lobbied Congress to expand the number of supplying countries. , but such provision did not prosper."

This is my first time hearing this. Anyone else aware if this is in fact true?
