Northern Graphite Corp V.NGC

A suitable substitute

[MaterialsMan]

Cathodes require nickel and lithium. Both are cheap and readily available.
As everyone here knows, graphite is required big time for annode material.
Sourcing annode material from China, which has been producing the lions share, makes the EVs sold  in the U.S. unable to receive the $7,500.00 credit.
Synthetic graphite is available as a substitute for natural I believe.
I don't know who makes it or how difficult it is, but maybe that's where the other half of the battery will come from.

Are you serious?  The kiddies forum is at the kids table in the back...how many entities are producing synthetic anode in North America right now...that would be zero.  Look at the few that 'have big plans' to produce synthetic in the near future...very small amounts, if they can even do it. The tech is complex...few global entities can even do it with proper consistency...China

Gorilldome47, You should stop talking out of your orifice. Some of what you say is accyrate; the rest useless drivel and inaccurate. Simply ask Tesla how much synthetic graphite it employs in its "BAM"? I guess you've simply never heard of the  Dr. Jeff Dahn advised NOVONIX. From 2025 through to 2028 a binding offtake purchase agreement for U.S. "IRA" compliant

MaterialsMan, You may want to speak to Novonix for your U.S. "IRA" compliant synthetic graphite needs. After all, Panasonic just issued NOVONIX an initial 10,000 tpa offtake purchase agreement for NOVONIX's synthetic graphite material. What's more, NOVONIX also process manufactures cathode active materials at the company's Halifax, Canada facility.
