The US again proves hostile to new manufacturing video

The US again proves hostile to new manufacturing video: friends or foes they are not welcomed in America, lessons from CATL, world's biggest battery maker 美國再次對新製造業表現出敵意：無論是朋友還是敵人，他們在美國都不受歡迎，全球最大電池製造商寧德時代的教訓

CATL is the world's largest maker of lithium-ion batteries, with over 30% of the global market. They have supply contracts with Ford Motor to produce EV batteries for Ford's new line of electric Mustang SUV's and Lightning pickups.

CATL, a Chinese manufacturer, hoped to build a factory in the US, but gave up. The United States is increasingly viewed as hostile to foreign manufacturing investment, as recent headlines in mining, minerals processing, automaking, chemicals, and semiconductor manufacturing confirm. CATL instead will invest billions of dollars for new facilities in Bolivia, Germany, and Hungary, among other places.

For the US, CATL will shift to a tech licensing scheme, through which Ford and others will pay CATL for each battery they produce using CATL's proprietary technology. Negotiations are also underway with Tesla, who already uses CATL batteries in their vehicles for other markets.

寧德時代是全球最大的鋰離子電池製造商，擁有全球30%以上的市場份額。 他們與福特汽車公司簽訂了供應合同，為福特新系列電動野馬 SUV 和 Lightning 皮卡生產電動車電池。

中國製造商寧德時代曾希望在美國建廠，但最終放棄了。 正如最近採礦、礦物加工、汽車製造、化學品和半導體製造領域的頭條新聞所證實的那樣，美國越來越被視為對外國製造業投資懷有敵意。 相反，寧德時代將在玻利維亞、德國和匈牙利等地投資數十億美元建設新工廠。

對於美國，寧德時代將轉向技術許可計劃，福特和其他公司將透過該計劃向寧德時代支付他們使用寧德時代專有技術生產的每個電池的費用。 與特斯拉的談判也在進行中，特斯拉已經在其他市場的車輛中使用寧德時代的電池。
