[LAC #62] LAC 미 에너지국 대출 정식 지원

미국 시간 기준으로 2022년 4월 14일 LAC이 미국 에너지국 대출 지원을 했다는 소식 발표되었다 (ATVM Loan). 아래 기사 첨부. 승인을 받으면 LAC은 거의 독자적인 힘으로 태커패스를 개발할 수 있고 헐값에 지분을 팔지 않아도 된다. 테슬라는 절대 제값 주고 사는 회사가 아니니 테슬라에 너무 목숨 걸지 않았으면 좋겠다. 독자적으로 크는 LAC의 모습을 꿈꾸어 본다. 

 

VANCOUVER, April 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lithium Americas Corp.

We are very excited to become a leading supplier of domestic critical materials to support the growth of the domestic battery and electric vehicle industry in response to increased demand and interest from US-based consumers.”
