Electric car batteries - Francisco Llorente Galera - Bog

The commitment of the main European automakers, the European Commission and certain European governments to the electric car is a reality. The deficit at the end of the last decade of battery cell and module plants located in Europe, which generated a high foreign dependence, especially from China, followed by Korea and Japan, has prompted the search to incorporate new cell, module and battery production plants in Europe to meet the future demand for batteries in the production of electric cars.The strategies of the main European car manufacturers regarding the supply of batteries for their electric cars to be produced in Europe are presented, as well as the political and financial impulse that is being given by the European Commission and certain governments for the location of new plants to produce cells, modules and batteries in the European Union, given the relevance of the battery in the cost of an electric vehicle and the ecosystem that it generates.
