. Beyond "cathode" is also why Tesla 1m mile is IRA void:
Cells and preparation:
*Machine made, Li-ion pouch cells containing single crystal Li[Ni0.5Mn0.3Co0.2]O2 (NMC532) positive electrodes and artificial graphite negative electrodes (LiFUN Technology, Zhuzhou City, Hunan Province, China) were selected for this work
*All electrolyte materials were obtained from Shenzen Capchem Co. Ltd.
Positive Electrode Active Material:
LFP -- Pulead
NMC -- Zhenhua BDA5000
Testing methods:
*Cells were cycled on a Neware Battery Testing System (Shenzen, China)
Everything in Tesla's report is China sourced.
No room for tweaking the sourcing percentages, etc..
2023 "friendshore" translation: all this data is irrelevant to IRA & 100% void.
