💨 Abstract

The US House of Representatives approved two bills aimed at reducing reliance on Chinese batteries for the Department of Homeland Security and addressing threats from China. The bills, HR1166 and pending Senate consideration, ban purchases from six Chinese battery manufacturers and establish a working group to monitor and counter threats. The bills aim to reduce dependence on China in electric vehicle battery technology, a growing source of geopolitical tension.
