LG Chem and SK Innovation are both suppliers of electric vehicle batteries in the U.S. for Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) and Volkswagen Group (OTC:VWAGY).  

Why It Matters: In February, the U.S. International Trade Commission banned SK Innovation’s batteries from the U.S. for 10 years.

LG Chem had accused SK Innovation of stealing its battery-making secrets to get orders from the automakers. 

However, the ITC for the time being allowed SK to continue importing components for batteries for Ford’s EV F-150 program for four years and Volkswagen’s North American EVs for two years.
