At the heart of almost every electric vehicle (EV) battery lies synthetic graphite, a crucial component that powers charging cycles, boosts battery life, and fuels performance. Control over this critical material is becoming a strategic imperative for EV makers as a result. Plus, with China dominating graphite exports, the U.S. push for domestic materials is a strategic move.
That’s where Lucid’s new deal with Graphite One (GPHOF) comes in, as the company just inked an agreement to source U.S.-made graphite, reinforcing its supply chain. This is not just about raw materials – it is about staking ground in a high-stakes energy war, buying control, resilience, and a future edge.
