Power Play: EU Courts Chinese Battery Manufacturers

The European Union’s battery manufacturing sector has been struggling to stay competitive. In the face of supply chain concerns, technological barriers and record-low prices fueled by the global oversupply of battery packs, existing policy has proved too light to support local producers. Yet with the introduction of the EU’s new Action Plan, further policy support could be on its way, and Chinese battery giants are announcing production facilities in the bloc. Elsewhere, BYD has introduced a brand-new battery that could revolutionize the sector, with promises of rapid charging speeds and extended range for passenger EVs. On today’s show, Tom Rowlands-Rees is joined by BloombergNEF energy storage analyst Andy Leach and trade and supply analyst Matthew Hales to discuss their recent notes “Plan to Save EU Battery Making Marks Protectionist Shift” and “Chinese Battery Makers Double Down on European Factories”.

Complementary BNEF research on the trends driving the transition to a lower-carbon economy can be found at BNEF<GO> on the Bloomberg Terminal or on bnef.com
