WASHINGTON : Two senior Republican lawmakers on Wednesday were highly critical of the decision by the U.S. Energy Department to award $200 million to Microvast Holdings over the lithium battery company's ties to the Chinese government.

Representative Frank Lucas, top Republican on the House Science Committee, said nearly 80 per cent of Microvast’s assets are in China and 61 per cent of its revenue in 2021 originated in China. In November, Microvast and General Motors said they would work together"to develop specialized EV battery separator technology and build a new separator plant in the U.S., which is expected to create hundreds of new jobs." The companies are investing $304 million in the project, Microvast said.

Senator John Barrasso, the top Republican on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, wrote Granholm in a separate letter saying that Microvast"is joined at the hip with China." He called the award"demonstrably antithetical" to the intent of the $1 trillion 2012 infrastructure law.
