The vehicle itself no....but the graphite and other minerals for the batteries are from China....and the Treasury Dept. is allowing 20% of EV equipped with said.....and their owners, access to tax credits. They will have a presence in the US for the foreseeable future. It’s semantics....without the batteries, an EV is just a fancy planter in the yard. Would love to see Appalachia enabled to convert coal into graphite to bring jobs back home and truly eliminate foreign production altogether....but, that’s a pipe dream
