Japan has been quietly blazing a trail for supply chain resilience.
Long before China in early April imposed an export ban on several rare earth elements and magnets widely used in the automotive, robotics and defense sectors, Japan became something of a canary in the coal mine for Beijing’s mineral dominance.
The East Asian country was thrust into panic mode in 2010 when China implemented an export ban on rare earths that specifically targeted Tokyo following a heated territorial dispute.
The embargo only lasted for around two months, but it was enough to incentivize the world’s fourth-largest economy to change its approach to supply chain security.
Alongside stockpiling, recycling and promoting alternative technologies, Japan has since invested heavily into non-China rare-earth projects — notably Australia’s Lynas, the world’s largest rare earth producer outside of China.
As a result, Japan’s overall dependence on Chinese rare earths has dropped to below 60% from more than 90% at the time of the incident, according to data provided by Argus Media.

Jonathan Rowntree — CEO of Niron Magnetics, which produces rare earth-free permanent magnets — said the U.S.-based company was born a decade ago following the world’s first rare earth crisis that “had a particularly significant impact on Japan, albeit less so on the rest of the world.”
“Because of that, Japan’s actually much more prepared this time around than most other countries,” Rowntree told CNBC by email.
“They’ve stockpiled more, invested in Lynas, and secured Western rare earth supply to meet some of that demand through a combination of Lynas, the Australian mines, and their Malaysian processing facility,” he added.
Japan reportedly plans to further reduce its reliance on Chinese rare earth imports to below 50% this year. CNBC has reached out to the Japanese government for comment.

China is the undisputed leader of the critical minerals supply chain, producing nearly 70% of the world’s supply of rare earths from mines and processing almost 90%, which means it is importing these materials from other countries and refining them.
Western officials have repeatedly flagged Beijing’s supply chain dominance as a strategic challenge, particularly given that critical mineral demand is expected to grow exponentially, as the clean energy transition picks up pace.
Japan’s supply chain transformation is seen as both a template for Western nations — and a stark reminder of just how difficult it is to escape China’s critical mineral orbit.
Further to go?
Japan has enjoyed success through Lynas and its international supply chains by not only investing in rare earth mining but also in the facilities needed to process and refine the materials into usable goods, according to Nils Backeberg, founder and director at consultancy Project Blue.
Still, the country has a long way to go to cut its dependency on China in some key areas, Backeberg told CNBC. This is especially true for heavy rare earth elements, which are generally less abundant in the Earth’s crust, elevating their value.

“Not a lot of heavy rare earths come out of Lynas, and most of the ones that do actually get sent to China for further refinement,” Backeberg said, adding that China’s latest export ban underscores Beijing’s importance in heavy rare earths.
But Lynas has continued to make progress in this area. Over the past month or so, the company has announced breakthroughs in two heavy rare earths, claiming to have produced them outside China for the first time.
‘A real problem’
China’s latest rare earth export curbs were implemented as part of a response to U.S. President Donald Trump‘s tariff increase on Beijing’s products.
“When the tariff war started and tariffs were put on China, the first thing that China did was say ‘we’re going to stop exporting rare earths.’ A few weeks later, we couldn’t manufacture a car in America or in Europe, so it is a real problem,” Eldur Olafsson, CEO of Greenland-focused mining company Amaroq, told CNBC’s “Europe Early Edition” on Thursday.
“No country in the Western world wants one country to corner the market,” Olafsson said.
Western auto industry groups have been hit particularly hard by the export curbs, with many increasingly concerned about production outages.

The disruption also extended to Japanese automakers. Suzuki Motor suspended production of its popular Swift car model earlier this month, with local media attributing the step to China’s rare earth export restrictions. A Suzuki Motor spokesperson did not respond to a CNBC request for comment.
Meanwhile, Japanese car giant Nissan said it was exploring ways to minimize the impact of China’s export controls by working with Japan’s government and the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association.
“We need to continue finding alternatives for the future, keeping flexibility and keeping our options open,” Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa told CNBC earlier this month.
A push for alternatives
Looking ahead, Niron Magnetics’s Rowntree said an all-encompassing government and industry approach would be needed to tackle China’s mineral dominance, from accelerating permits for domestic mines to investing in new alternatives to provide sufficient magnet supplies.
“Everyone has seen that this supply bottleneck is an issue. We’ve all known for a long time that this could happen, but now it has actually happened,” Rowntree said.
“I think many customers share my view — that this issue is unlikely to disappear and that we need to have alternatives in the West to address it.”
Europe’s domestic production of rare earths is limited. Just like the U.S., the region heavily relies on imports, particularly from China, although plans are underway to develop domestic resources and processing capabilities.
For instance, Belgian chemical group Solvay, which operates the largest rare earths processing plant outside of China in La Rochelle, France, aims to supply 30% of Europe’s processed rare earths demand for permanent magnets by 2030.

Gracelin Baskaran, director of the critical minerals security program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), a Washington-based think tank, said the U.S. and European Union will need to work together to create a market for non-Chinese rare earths.
“The West is creating a nascent rare earths industry outside of China at a time when prices are low and companies are grappling with profitability,” Baskaran told CNBC by email.
Tax credits and subsidies will be “essential” to ensure that non-Chinese projects can build and scale up, Baskaran said, noting that rare earths go into nearly every modern industry.

The Honda Prologue was the most leased non-Tesla EV in the first quarter
Published

June 20, 2025By

The Honda Prologue continues to surprise, ranking among the top ten most leased vehicles (gas-powered or EV) in the US in the first quarter. It was the only EV, outside of Tesla’s Model Y and Model 3, that made the list.
Honda Prologue EV ranks among most leased vehicles
After launching the Prologue in the US last March, Honda’s electric SUV took off. In the second half of the year, it was the second-best-selling electric SUV, trailing only the Tesla Model Y.
The Prologue remains a top-selling EV in the US this year, with over 13,500 units sold through May. That’s not too bad, considering it only sold 705 through May of last year.
According to a new Experian report (via Automotive News), Honda’s success is being driven by ultra-affordable lease rates. In the first quarter, nearly 60% of new EV buyers in the US chose to lease, up from just 36% a year ago.

Three EVs ranked in the top ten most leased vehicles, including the Tesla Model Y, Model 3, and Honda Prologue.

Tesla’s Model Y and Model 3 took the top two spots, while the Honda Prologue ranked number seven. Those who leased Tesla’s Model 3 paid $402 per month, Honda Prologue lessees paid $486 a month.
Given the average loan rate was $708 a month for those who bought it, it’s no wonder nearly 90% chose to lease. Under 9% chose to buy, while less than 2% paid cash.

The discounts are piling up, but for how long?
To give you a better idea, the average monthly payment for a new vehicle lease in the US in the first quarter was $595.
With over $20,000 in discounts, Honda’s luxury Acura brand is selling a surprising number of EVs in the US. The nearly $65,000 Acura ZDX is sold for under $40,000 on average in May, according to Cox Automotive’s EV Market Monitor report for May.

The trend is primarily thanks to the $7,500 federal EV tax credit, which is being passed on to customers through leasing.
With the Trump administration and Senate Republicans aiming to kill off federal subsidies, the savings could soon disappear. If the Senate’s recently proposed bill is passed, the $7,500 credit would expire within 180 days. It would not only make electric vehicles more expensive, but it would also put the US further behind China and others leading the shift to electrification.

Some automakers, including GM, are expected to continue offering the incentives. “GM has been very competitive on the incentives on their end, and that is not scheduled to end.”
After outselling Ford, GM’s Chevy is now the fastest-growing EV brand in the US through May. Chevy is starting to chip away at Tesla’s lead, largely thanks to the new Equinox EV, or “America’s most affordable +315 range EV,” as GM calls it.

According to Xperian, those who leased a new Chevy Equinox EV in Q1 paid $243 less than those who financed it. The electric Equinox stood out in Cox Automotive’s EV Market Monitor report with an average selling price under $40,000, even without incentives.
The Chevy Equinox EV remains one of the most affordable EVs on the market. Starting at just $34,995, the base LT FWD model offers an EPA-estimated range of 319 miles.
Looking to test out some of the most popular EVs for yourself? With Honda Prologue leases as low as $259 per month and Chevy Equinox EV leases starting at just $289 per month, the deals are hard to pass up right now while the incentives are still here.

Enel + Nissan LEAF second life battery storage project goes online
Published

June 20, 2025By

Originally announced two years ago, a joint energy storage project between European energy firm Enel and Nissan has come online, giving LEAF batteries a second chance at life and ensuring electrical supply for more than 90,000 people.
DER, or distributed energy resources, are a huge deal in the utility space, which is scrambling to keep up with the ever-greater power demands of more, bigger high-compute data centers. EV batteries at the end of their useful life for automotive use have long been promised to be part of a more comprehensive solution, however — and now that promise is coming good.
Spanish-language site Motorpasión is reporting that the plan to put dozens of “second life” batteries from used Nissan LEAF EVs to work at Enel Group’s Endesa plant in Melilla (first announced back in 2022), is now online, ensuring steady delivery of energy for over 90,000 people.
Due to its location on the African continent and south of the Strait of Gibraltar, Melilla is disconnected from both the mainland Spanish and Moroccan electricity grids, making it fully dependent on a single thermal power plant to supply electricity to its inhabitants. That can lead to surges in energy demand that can cause brownouts or rolling blackouts — a situation that’s all too common during the Mediterranean region’s extremely hot summer months.

From the original press release:
As part of the collaboration, Nissan has provided the batteries from its electric vehicles and Loccioni, a system integrator, secured the proper integration between batteries needed for the circular process. The project leverages advanced technology based on a simple idea: once the useful life of a battery within an electric vehicle has come to an end, these batteries are recycled and assembled in a large stationary storage system. This system is integrated with Endesa’s Melilla facility to avoid the interruption of electricity supply during events of excessive load, to improve the reliability of the grid and secure the continuity of network service to the local population. The back-up generator is composed of 48 used Nissan LEAF batteries and 30 new ones.
This new Second Life facility is capable of storing up to 4 MW of energy and delivering up to 1.7 MWh on its own into Melilla’s electrical grid. That’s not enough to keep things going for more than a few minutes, but it’s enough time to restore the system and restart the power supply without interrupting critical operations, and more than enough to relieve loads on the main plant during peak hours.
Nissan LEAF + Enel Second Life project

“This is a project we strongly believed in since day one,” explained Ernesto Ciorra, Enel Group’s Chief Innovability [sic] Officer. “We involved important partners alongside counting on the relentless dedication of our colleagues and on a real, operating plant where we could implement storage solutions through second-life batteries. And what would have been called impossible only a few years ago became possible, became real.”
Nissan is currently using LEAF batteries in similar large BESS systems in Japan, where the batteries are used as city-wide backup batteries in the event of natural disasters. Other companies are looking to similar concepts to power equipment on remote job sites, as well, showing that EV batteries are lasting longer — and serving more people! — than the oil lobbies would have you believe.

Tenways’ 4th of July Sale takes $600 off e-bike bundles + additional $200 when buying two – all starting from $1,499
Tenways has launched its 4th of July Sale that is taking up to $600 off its e-bikes and offering $200 in additional savings when purchasing two models together. Among the offers this time around, we spotted the price coming lower than we’ve seen since March on the CGO600 Pro e-bikes for $1,499 shipped with $118 in free gear for both the chain-drive and belt-drive variants. Both models normally go for $1,899 at full price, which we’ve seen brought down as low as $1,299 for the chain-drive model and $1,399 for the belt-drive. Since March, they’ve been keeping above $1,599, but this sale is cutting $400 off the tags ($518 in total savings), landing them back at the second and third-lowest pricing we have tracked.
Perfect for urban commuters who enjoy active cycling, the Tenways CGO600 Pro e-bikes weigh just 37 pounds making them easy to manage up and down stairs, stoops, and the like. There’s no throttle for pure electric riding, with them instead providing four PAS levels supported by a torque sensor. The 350W rear hub motor pairs with a 360Wh battery to help you reach top speeds of 20 MPH for up to 53 miles on a single charge.
The main choice here is between the Gates carbon belt drive for quieter performance or its newer 8-speed variant with a Shimano derailleur and newer C9 350W motor that offers more flexible riding. Aside from that, you’ll also be getting puncture-proof tires that combat nails and other debris in the streets, Tektro dual-piston hydraulic brakes for stopping power, as well as LED lighting, internally routed cables, and an OLED screen for all your setting adjustments.
Tenways’ other 4th of July e-bike deals:

Greenworks’ 82V 18-inch commercial cordless chainsaw with 4.0Ah and 2.5Ah batteries hits new $400 low
Amazon is offering a solid bundle opportunity on its Greenworks 82V 18-inch Commercial-Grade Cordless Chainsaw that comes with 4.0Ah and 2.5Ah batteries and a dual-port rapid charger at $399.98 shipped. Normally, you’d have to shell out $600 buying these models separately in their standard packages, which we’ve seen brought down as low as $516 before today. Not only is this a new all-time low price we’re tracking, saving you $200 off their usual rates, but the bundle is also coming in at the same price as the standard one-battery package, meaning you’re getting the $200 2.5Ah battery for free.
Part of Greenworks’ commercial series of tools for professional landscaping and groundskeeping, this 82V 18-inch chainsaw can make up to 210 cuts on a single charge of the 4.0Ah battery, which can be extended thanks to the additional battery in the bundle. The 2.7kW brushless direct-drive motor brings the equivalent of a 55cc gas motor to the equation, able to reach up to 13,000 RPM max speeds. There’s an automatic oiler to keep things lubricated and running smoothly, as well as a flip-up gauge for it that lets you see how much oil is in the tank, a mechanical chain brake, and more.

Blow, collect, or mulch yard debris with Worx’s 12A corded Trivac at $69
Amazon is offering the Worx WG509 12A Trivac 3-in-1 Electric Corded Leaf Blower/Mulcher/Vacuum for $69 shipped. This legacy tool would normally run you $100 at full price, which we’ve mostly seen keeping above $79 throughout 2025. Today’s deal is bringing the costs down lower thanks to the $31 markdown we’re getting here, dropping things down among some of its lowest prices – just $9 above the all-time low that we haven’t seen reappear for quite some time.
When doing any outdoor work – especially in the heat of summer – it’s always best to go by the phrase “working smarter, not harder” and this 3-in-1 Worx Trivac definitely exudes that credo with its blowing, collecting, and/or mulching functionality. When put into its standard blower settings, it can produce up to 210 MPH airflow, while the included bag allows for the collection of debris at a flip of a switch. There’s also the two-stage metal impeller/shredder blades for any mulching needs, which the brand claims to “take 18 bags worth of leaves and chops it down into one.” It comes lightweight at just 10 pounds so anyone of any size can use it, with an angled collection nozzle to help reach under patio furniture and other low-lying areas.
If you’re only looking for a reliable means to mulch the leaves around your yard at much faster rates, Worx’s 13A Electric Leaf Mulcher makes a great companion for the job at $139.99 shipped, down from $190. By attaching a regular bag underneath the device, you can mulch leaves at a speed of 53 gallons per minute for easy collection, with the brand promising to condense “11 bags down into 1.”
