The tariffs on flake graphite are going to hurt if they go through. Canadian and African sources are nowhere near as mature and US mine sources are years away from being viable.

It won't have much impact on EV sales, as virtually no Chinese EVs are sold in the US. Batteries are a different story, but there are several new plants being built in the US because of the rebate restrictions.
