U.N. experts and rights groups estimate over a million people, mainly Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities, have been detained in a vast system of camps in Xinjiang in recent years. The departments scientists are working on reducing EV charging times to less than 15 minutes for a car to go 300 miles (483 km) and also to help reduce the cost of battery packs, which would make EVs more affordable, Granholm said. Having (coal workers) mine for critical materials is a natural shift for them, said Granholm, a former Michigan governor who was confirmed last month as secretary. Extracting the various mineral components of a battery has proven difficult and costly in the past, and new research focuses on ways to reuse cathodes and other battery parts, according to Argonne researchers.
Having (coal workers) a mine is a natural shift for them, with allocated funds for research.
