I found paul's news item (above) interesting. The item's bar chart (at the bottom) https://l0dl1j3lc42iebd82042pgl2-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/Screenshot-2019-12-05-at-9.54.04-AM.png beaks down/shows li-ion production worldwide: who, where, how much, & when A link on that news item https://www.energy.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/files/serve?File_id=9BAC3577-C7A4-4D6D-A5AA-33ACDB97C233 also has more bar & pie charts giving more detail ... '70 lithium ion battery megafactories under construction across four continents, 46 of which are based in China with only five currently planned for the US.” The report also covered the main materials needed to build batteries, breaking down how much of each – lithium, [nickel], cobalt, etc – the United States imported.' The Lordstown GM site was sold to e-truck-maker Workhorse-Group,Lordstown- Motors https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/general-motors/2019/11/07/gm-lordstown-assembly-workhorse/2521887001/ And the: 'GM’s Brownstown Battery manufacturing facility, lithium-Ion battery pack production for Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid is ongoing' But, GM now going to build another Lordstown GM site to build batteries, when they could have just used the site they sold? -Was there more-profit/less-loss in selling a vehicle manufacturing site, and building a battery site from scratch? I'm seeing negative anti-EV news pieces stating EVs are taking away/losing jobs for auto workers (making-ice needs more workers, than making EVs). At least having another Lordstown GM site will help keep workers employed so they can pay their bills and feed their families. btw, I found today, a similar news item: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/05/business/gm-lg-battery.html G.M. Venture to Create Ohio Battery Plant and 1100 Jobs Dec. 5, 2019 Tesla, the leading seller of electric cars, makes its own battery packs in a joint ... Other traditional automakers are also looking to expand their electric vehicle ... https://static01.nyt.com/images/2019/12/05/business/05battery1/merlin_153751902_853e8dcd-0a34-417e-ab01-bb8d871ae744-jumbo.jpg For EVLN EV-newswire posts use: http://www.evdl.org/archive/ {brucedp.neocities.org} -- Sent from: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/ _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub ARCHIVE: http://www.evdl.org/archive/index.html INFO: http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
