That probably factors into it too. The automakers have always preferred to have strong control over their suppliers, and doubly so after they played themselves with the chip makers during the pandemic. Battery plants take time to bring online, and unfortunately Trump’s bullshit kicked into high gear just as capacity was coming online, giving everyone cold feet.
