    I see why not?!
    Why they always need to 'reinvent' the wheel?

    Not like Oil as a natural resource which cannot be made, Battery Technology is simply a bunch of Patented Know-Hows.
    They can just pay royalties for the design and making these batteries domestically to drive the economy.

    Didn't GM already start bringing more Euro Engineering (aka rebadging) for its product line as well?

    Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

    The batteries you seek are not here.
