There is one major issue to overcome in battery manufacture - current EPA regulations.
Manufacturing which involves any toxic materials - and there's a lot in battery-making - is expensive. That's one of the re3asons why a lot of manufacturing is done elsewhere. The disposal of some kinds of manufacturing waste sometimes just cannot be done!
