北卡罗来纳州推进锂提炼和电池再利用,以减少中国的依赖,推动美国EV供应链的发展。 North Carolina advances lithium refining and battery reuse to cut China reliance and boost U.S. EV supply chains.

北卡罗来纳州正在成为美国推动将锂提炼带上岸的主要参与者,减少了对中国的依赖,而中国是全球精炼锂生产的主导。 North Carolina is emerging as a key player in the U.S. push to bring lithium refining onshore, reducing dependence on China, which dominates global refined lithium production. 国家正在测试电池再利用方案,使用退休的福特F-150闪电卡车电池支持电网,参与者获得较低的租赁付款。 The state is testing battery reuse programs using retired Ford F-150 Lightning truck batteries to support the grid, with participants receiving lower lease payments. 当地炼油厂也正在加紧努力,处理黑批量回收的电池碎片,用到可用的锂,并成功地进行小规模试验,但规模的扩大仍然是一个障碍。 Local refineries are also advancing efforts to process black mass—recycled battery fragments—into usable lithium, with successful small-scale trials, though scaling remains a hurdle. 这些事态发展支持加强国内清洁能源供应链和促进电动车辆生产的国家目标。 These developments support national goals to strengthen domestic clean energy supply chains and boost electric vehicle production.
