Lucid Group has initiated the Minerals for National Automotive Competitiveness Collaboration (MINAC) to enhance the domestic supply chains for electric vehicle (EV) battery manufacturing. Formed with critical mineral producers, MINAC aims to identify and address barriers in sourcing essential materials like nickel and manganese, which are vital for battery production. This initiative aligns with U.S. efforts to reduce dependence on foreign minerals and promote local mining operations, thereby fostering job growth and manufacturing resilience in the EV sector.
