(Reuters) – Piedmont Lithium faced a slew of skeptical questions from local North Carolina officials on Tuesday about its controversial plans for a lithium mine that would supply the electric vehicle battery metal to Tesla (NASDAQ:).

Piedmont first signed a deal to supply lithium to Tesla in 2021. That deal was paused before being renegotiated in January, with Piedmont agreeing to supply the metal from a Quebec lithium mine in which it has an investment while it tries to kickstart the North Carolina project.
