Apple car batteries to be built in the US by China’s BYD and CATL – report

US tech giant Apple is currently in negotiations with China’s BYD and CATL to supply batteries for its on-again off-again electric vehicle (EV), according to a new report from Reuters citing “four people with direct knowledge of the matter.” However, US President Joe Biden's administration has reportedly insisted such a deal – should it go ahead – would require the necessary manufacturing facilities be built locally, and employ American workers.
