APPEARS CANADA IS RAMPING UP WITH....
30% TAX INCENTIVES....
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada will introduce in its budget next week a 30% investment tax credit to boost clean-tech manufacturing, especially in the electric vehicle (EV) supply chain, two government sources familiar with the document said on Thursday.
The tax credit for capital investments in manufacturing equipment will be a "significant piece" of a bundle of measures aimed at putting Canada's green-transition effort on the same level as the United States, said one source.
The credit will be available for future investments in equipment used to extract and process critical minerals used in EVs, a second source said, and to purchase equipment used in manufacturing along the entire EV supply chain, including for batteries.

Here's a company boasting about thier
- Silicon anode battery. Using silicon as an anode allows far more space with in
a battery inwhich to use, all the more lithium
resulting in - more power storage.
We Enable the Future of Electric Mobility Today
Innovation
- 100% silicon anode battery(1)
Superior Battery Performance
- High Energy Density
- Up to 450 Wh/kg(2) and 1,150 Wh/L(2)(3)
- High Power Density
- Fast Charge Rate Capability

Thought i'd share....
Found it quite interesting the - silicon metal -
has now made it's debut into the - battery space.
Maybe... they didn't etch it... simply
ran with a solid state silicon anode ?
Wish they gave more insight into - how thier
silicon anode is made.
Cheers....
