on their investments will come not from mega-projects, but from incremental initiatives. Source -

16. CLIMATE CHANGE AND AUTOMOTIVE
General Motors announced July 2 it would move to source lithium for its electric-vehicle batteries from a U.S.-based startup. The automaker
made a multi-million-dollar investment in Controlled Thermal Resources, Ltd., a California-based startup, to help fund a lithium plant in
Southern California.

Blog – Heat Wave and Plug-In Stations
How so? As the heatwave continues to build, the California ISO has asked residents to relieve pressure on the electric grid, in part by charging
EVs at off peak times. This comes at a time when an aggressive move is underway to build a robust EV industry is well underway, including the
2035 target date to end sale of gas vehicles in California, events straining the utility grid could lead to limited mobility and high costs to
charge. While this instance will be short lived, other events will transpire in the future, putting similar strains on the critical infrastructure.
