What makes you think the US can compete in manufacturing batteries?

We couldn't compete making memory chips, or flash memory..

And given that Li-Ion batteries have been in the electronics marketplace for years now (laptops), we've never attempted to compete.

And the reality is that it's quite likely the entire auto industry is moving in that direction if US workers are not willing to accept lower wages (or wages in those exporting countries fail to increase).
