Then there is also this separate little nugget.
"(7) Excluded entities.--For purposes of this section, the term `new clean vehicle' shall not include--``(A) any vehicle placed in service after December 31, 2024, with respect to which any of the applicable critical minerals contained in the battery of such vehicle (as described in subsection (e)(1)(A)) were extracted, processed, or recycled by a foreign entity of concern (as defined in section 40207(a)(5) of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (42 U.S.C. 18741(a)(5))), or``(B) any vehicle placed in service after December 31, 2023, with respect to which any of the components contained in the battery of such vehicle (as described in subsection (e)(2)(A)) were manufactured or assembled by a foreign entity of concern (as so defined).''."
That makes it sound like even if a single screw or an ounce of Lithium comes from a "foreign entity of concern" it disqualifies the whole thing.
Here is the best link I could find with more exact language contained in the bill
