Since the article is about Renault, I wanted to mention their EVs use motors with no rare-earth metals. https://www.renaultgroup.com/en/magazine/energy-and-powertra... | ||

Same with Nissan [0], BMW [1], and Indian EVs [2]. European firms like ZF, Valeo, MAHLE, and Schaffler along with British firms like AEM have been working with Indian manufacturers for a couple years now to integrate supply chains for mass-producing EESMs. EESMs as well as the larger OEM story played a role in helping land the EU-India and the UK-India FTAs because the supply chains for French+Italian (Renault, Stellantis), Japanese (Toyota, Honda), Korean (Hyundai-Kia), and Indian automotive manufacturers merged. On the other hand, EESM EVs aren't a thing here in North America nor China yet. [0] - https://leandesign.com/nissan-ariya-magnet-free-motor-teardo...
