In this article
- Tariffs levied during the Trump administration’s trade war with China are contributing to automotive price increases -- especially since temporary exclusions to some of those tariffs were allowed to expire in late 2020 or early this year.
- Tesla and SK Innovation both requested a waiver on tariffs for graphite, which is used in the anode component of lithium-ion batteries in electric cars.
- The outpouring of industry pleas could spur the Biden administration to reinstate government exclusions on 25% tariffs on artificial graphite imported from China, as well as other materials and components.
