Battery Boom In The U.S. Seems Imminent In Light Of Record Growth

1. The article focuses on EV batteries, but there is also huge demand for grid scale batteries. The Texas grid is the nation’s least regulated and easiest for developers to get planning permission to build on, and they have seen [over 500% growth in grid scale storage in the last two years.](https://www.gridstatus.io/records/ercot?record=Maximum%20Power%20Storage).

2. >However, the future of these plants [remains uncertain](https://insideevs.com/news/751505/america-ten-new-ev-plants-double-capacity/), as the new administration may scrap tax credits for EVs or introduce tariffs that could make vehicles and parts more expensive.

   And that’s the rub. Will Republicans put their country and their constituents first, or their cult leader?

3. China will produce these batteries unless the US govt massively subsidizes local production.
