3. CATL, once embraced by US military, is now blacklisted.

The Pentagon has ordered removal of CATL BESSs (battery electric storage systems) from military bases, only months after they were installed, over concerns about the company's ties to the CCP and the PLA. *Presumably* there are also security issues over computer-controlled, hence hackable, infrastructure, but it's not clear how much that is a part of it.

All this started well before the start of the Turnip maladministration.
