And introduction of the U.S.’s new EV tax credit score, which requires a proportion of EV battery elements be sourced from North America and battery minerals be sourced from U.S. allies, means Canada has an enormous and assured marketplace for its battery merchandise proper subsequent door. However with few, if any, EVs anticipated to satisfy all the brand new standards, the race to construct the provision chain is on. Can Canada capitalize on this generational alternative? In that case, what is going to it take?
Be a part of Clear Power Canada for a pointed dialog to discover these matters with consultants Ilka von Dalwigk, Andrew Miller, and Dr. Leonardo Paoli.
