House Votes to Ban Chinese-Based Company’s EV Batteries from Homeland Security

The U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation that would prohibit electric-vehicle batteries from Gotion and several other foreign companies from being used by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Florida Republican Congressman Carlos Gimenez was pleased that the House passed H.R.

“While these amendments have made the bill better, there are lingering concerns, including how a ban on Chinese-made batteries will impact DHS’ ability to buy American-made electric vehicles, since most American EV producers used Chinese-sourced batteries,” Ivey said.

“Our government should not be spending tax dollars to procure batteries from companies that profit from slave labor or provide another avenue for the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) to expand their surveillance apparatus here in the United States homeland,” Gimenez said.
