WR1 General Discussion, page-29455

Regarding these new US tariffs, there are actually very few Chinese-made EVs sold into the US.

More significantly (in the short-term, at least) tariffs on Chinese-made lithium-ion batteries will also be increased, from 7.5% to 25%

Unlike Chinese EVs, the US imports a lot of Chinese batteries (about 1/5th of Chinese production, by value.)

What this does is strongly incentivize the development of cathode production capacity in or near the US, which has the knock-on effect of incentivizing local upstream production. (Roughly, from upstream to downstream: feedstock -> conversion to chems -> pCAMs -> CAMs -> cathodes -> batteries)

It makes Adina-Renard more valuable, and makes it more likely that WR1 will be acquired outright, or that a strong partnership will be formed with a midstream player who can convert Adina's SpodCon.
