For example, output from the only nickel mine in the US, the Eagle mine in Minnesota, is sent to Canada for smelting. In the next article in the series, we will look at whether the grid can handle tens of millions of EVs. Consequently, the report states that the US “exports the limited raw materials produced today to foreign markets.”
