China Could Harm The American EV Industry

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, outlines the growing challenges facing the U.S. electric vehicle industry. Despite modest EV adoption—8% of new car sales last year—consumer concerns about range, tire wear, cold-weather performance, and charging infrastructure persist. McIntyre warns that if China restricts access to essential battery minerals, U.S. EV growth could stall entirely, dashing hopes of reaching a 20% adoption rate in the near future.
