Aug 8 (Reuters) - Piedmont Lithium (PLL.O) on Tuesday drew skepticism and anger at a key meeting with local North Carolina officials about its plans for a lithium mine that would supply the electric vehicle battery metal to Tesla (TSLA.O).
Piedmont said it would be open to helping its neighbors in those situations dig deeper wells or connect to municipal water supplies.
Piedmont first signed a deal to supply lithium to Tesla in 2021 from North Carolina.
"We've not heard from Piedmont Lithium in over two years," said Warren Snowdon, whose land shares an 8,000-foot-border with the proposed site.
"So I don't know if they don't care and I don't know if they're concerned about us."
