The US EV battery supply chain just got a massive upgrade. After Ascend Elements collapsed, startup R3 Lithium surged from stealth to seize their idle Georgia facility.

Despite recent policy shifts and market turbulence, R3 proves that domestic lithium recovery is essential for the future of energy storage systems.
