Sen marcorubio took aim at Energy SecGranholm’s decision to appoint Ford’s top EV lobbyist as a member of her advisory board on, noting his role as Ford's primary defender in its newly announced partnership with a Chinese battery supplier.
Rubio, who serves as vice chairman of the Select Intelligence Committee and a senior member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, described Christopher Smith's new position on the Secretary of Energy Advisory Board in a statement as"deeply troubling but unsurprising.
That role has included going to bat to defend Ford's new partnership with CATL, the Chinese-owned battery maker with which Ford recently announced plans to build a new $3.5 billion EV battery plant in Michigan. The auto giant came under intense scrutiny for its partnership with the China-based company.
Rubio joined Sen. Mark Warner and Gov. Glenn Youngkin in criticizing the Ford-CATL deal and has introduced legislation aimed at prohibiting the company from using taxpayer funds for the venture.
