Like you said, the materials for making decent batteries is obtained mostly overseas. Until they can make a battery that will fuel a motor vehicle for a 500 mile trip, who wants one? Sitting in line to charge your batteries for hours, makes a distance trip take a long time. Are they planning to build hotels around the charging stations?
Or separate hydrogen from water and produce a burnable gas and oxygen. Use electricity or magnesium to separate??
