Angus King (Maine) touts America\u2019s electric vehicle capabilities. During an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/axios-event-tesla-cofounder-sustainable-transportation-b420b53d-b06b-471e-bf40-e671b8057e8c.html\">Axios<\/a> on Tuesday, King said EV companies would be able to recycle batteries within the next five years.<\/p>\n<p>King said the issue of EV independence isn\u2019t only an environmental issue, but a national security issue as well. He added right now the U.S. is over-dependent on supply chains with China when it comes to EV technology.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t have to have much imagination to say okay, we get to a significant penetration of EV and then suddenly we get into some kind of conflict with China and they say, no more rare-earth minerals, no more cobalt, no more things you need for batteries. Lithium, and we\u2019re in a really bad place,\u201d said King. \u201cSo, as I say, there\u2019s a very important national security aspect to this and it\u2019s a matter of stimulating and developing the domestic industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Energy storage is the key to unlocking our clean energy future, including the potential of electric vehicles.

King went on to promote a provision of the bipartisan infrastructure bill that he says would help American companies develop their EV\u2019s even better.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[We\u2019re] trying to jumpstart an entire industry. Here it is,\u201d he said. \u201cIt is feasible, but it\u2019s not easy and it\u2019s something that\u2019s going to take some time. And frankly, it\u2019s going to take some federal support just as other areas of energy development have.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/suspected-serial-killer-arrested-in-mo-for-alleged-shooting-spree\/\">Suspected Serial Killer Arrested In Mo.
