Japan looks beyond China for EV and chip materials

apanese companies that have relied on critical battery and semiconductor materials made in China are moving to broaden their sources as Beijing tightens export controls.

The Chinese government has decided to require export permits for a portion of graphite shipments starting Friday. Graphite is essential in making negative electrodes in lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles

Although the licensing requirement stops short of a ban, it could reduce China’s graphite exports. More than 80% of natural graphite used in Japan is sourced from China.
