Get a quoteSouth Korea, however, is itself highly dependent on China for the manufacture of critical minerals and battery components. The implementation of detailed IRA guidelines is an important milestone in assessing South Korea’s role in the Sino-U.S. competition for supremacy in EVs and batteries. The global battery industry is still in its infancy.
Nevertheless, cooperation among America and its allies will be necessary to contend with China’s powerful role in EV and battery markets. South Korea can be an especially important US partner.
But Korean producers of the anodes and cathodes in EV batteries produced by LG Energy Solution, Samsung SDI and others still rely on Chinese partners to source and refine certain critical minerals. China controls the supply chain for dozens of minerals for clean technologies, producing about 90 per cent of the world’s rare earth elements.
China’s battery mineral dominance poses a serious challenge to the United States and to US allies with significant EV and battery manufacturing industries. One such country is South Korea, home to three of the world’s top-10 battery makers62 and one of the top-10 EV manufacturers.63
