What could go wrong. LOL

The company says Thursday that Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. of China will supply new lithium-iron phosphate batteries starting next year. The deal is in addition to a contract with SK Innovation of Korea that includes building batteries in a joint venture at plants to be built in Kentucky and Tennessee. Ford also is getting batteries from LG Energy Solution of Korea.

Ford says it plans for half of its global production to be electric vehicles by 2030

Let's hope they work on those Kentucky and Tenn plants

Worth noting is that:
  • EV batteries are touted as a solution to pollution.
  • Then the US mainly seeks to hire out-of-country firms to mine and manufacture them because of the pollution created making them and their more lax environmental laws.
  • So in effect, the USA combats pollution and climate change by simply polluting elsewhere in someone else's climate. :smoke:
  • 20 years ago we did the same thing with solar panels.
  • Today, we are throwing all those old solar panels in land fills polluting the environment with all their toxic metals because no one knows what to do with them.
