TL;DR companies making EV batteries don't have good environmental processes.
But isn't that part of what the EU law is trying to tackle
Maybe, but the article is 90% about a plant in Nevada; EU regulations aren't going to affect that much.
You don't think? To sell devices with said batteries in Europe, they have to comply, so like USB-C, it will have a knock-on effect.
I didn't hear that the hostile reaction from the Europeans to Elon's shenanigans affected his behavior much. He bitched about it, but didn't change anything.
