Description
Ford is expanding its partnership with Chinese battery giant CATL to manufacture energy storage batteries for AI data centers, forming a new subsidiary, Ford Energy, and repurposing its Kentucky EV battery plant. While Ford argues the move will create high-skill US manufacturing jobs and qualify for federal tax credits, the deal has triggered strong opposition in Washington. US lawmakers and rival automakers have raised national security concerns, citing alleged CATL links to the Chinese military and questioning the scope of Ford’s licensing agreement. Critics warn the arrangement could give Ford an unfair advantage under OBBBA rules, reigniting debate over US-China technology ties, supply chain security, and America’s AI infrastructure push.
