Hundreds of auto companies, including electric vehicle leader Tesla, have asked the U.S. Trade Representative to extend tariff exemptions on parts and materials imported from China used to make or repair cars. According to a CNBC report on Thursday, Tesla submitted three public comments on Wednesday in support of graphite's tariff exemption.

"Due to Tesla's due diligence process on global and U.S. artificial graphite suppliers, Tesla has concluded that there is currently no company in the United States that can produce artificial graphite that meets the specifications and capacity required for Tesla's production." The company wrote. Tesla also stated that only mainland China can provide the flake or powdered graphite it needs to manufacture batteries in the United States.

South Korean battery company SK Innovation also supports the extension of tariff reductions on graphite through its US subsidiary SK Battery America. SK Innovation stated that if tariff reductions are resumed, it will be able to produce high-quality electric vehicle parts for the United States at a competitive price while creating full-time jobs that support American families.

Public information shows that graphite can be used to make negative parts for automotive lithium-ion batteries. On average, a hybrid car requires about 22 pounds of graphite, while a pure electric car requires about 220 pounds.

Graphite is generally divided into artificial graphite and natural graphite. Due to the large capacity and low price of artificial graphite, most power batteries and some high-end consumer batteries use artificial graphite to produce negative electrode materials.

According to data from AskCI Consulting, the leading companies in China's artificial graphite industry include Beterui, Shanghai Putailai and Ningbo Shanshan. Among them, Betteri was recognized by the Japanese conglomerate Panasonic in 2017 and entered Tesla's supply chain because Panasonic is one of Tesla's main battery suppliers.
