The FEOC rules come into effect in 2024 for completed batteries and 2025 for critical minerals used to produce them.
Treasury said the few materials being exempted each account for less than 2% of the value of battery critical minerals.
The rules are expected to further reduce the number of electric vehicles eligible for EV tax credits.
Earlier this year, new battery and mineral sourcing requirements took effect with price and buyer income eligibility caps from Jan. 1.
