Ford’s partnership with Chinese battery giant CATL is under fire from the U.S. Department of Transportation, which warns that relying on state-backed Chinese tech threatens American manufacturing independence and national security. Secretary Sean Duffy’s letter to Ford CEO Jim Farley questions the company’s strategy as it prepares to use CATL’s lithium iron phosphate battery tech — not just for cars but also for energy storage systems. With tensions rising between the U.S. and China, the DOT sees this move as risky, potentially compromising American supply chains. Ford has yet to respond officially, leaving the future of this deal uncertain — and the stakes couldn’t be higher for global auto manufacturing and national interests.
