GM Plans U.S. Battery Development Amid Trump Administration Scrutiny of Ford's China Ties
General Motors announced plans to develop battery production domestically as the Trump administration's Department of Transportation criticized Ford over its business relationships in China.
General Motors is moving to establish domestic supply chains for both electric vehicles and energy storage, according to the company's announcement. The move comes as battery cell production currently depends heavily on raw materials sourced from China.
The initiative follows criticism from the Trump administration's Department of Transportation targeting Ford Motor Company over its China business ties, escalating scrutiny of automakers' international supply chains.
