EV Siccess Depends on High Power Magnets |
|
Making light-weight, powerful electric motors requires powerful magnets and powerful magnets are made from rare earth metals. China currently controls 80%- 90% of the rare earth metal deposits in the world and over 90% of rare earth metal production. One expert believes that US auto companies will be unable to build EVs once China’s domestic demand for EVs exceeds the world’s rare earth metal supply.

|
China Controls Essential EV Materials |
|
The Wall Street Journal has pointed out that the rush to electrify US transportation will de facto hand control of the US transportation future to China because of China’s control of the rare earth metals necessary for high energy electric motors. The Chinese government is actively consolidating control of the production of all rare earth metals under a government program, “China Rare Earth Group.”
