Commentary urges Europe to build its own battery industry
Original: COMMENTARY: Europe’s electric future needs a battery industry of its own
A Reuters commentary argues that Europe's shift to electric vehicles and clean energy depends on developing a domestic battery industry rather than relying on foreign suppliers, mainly from Asia. The piece adds to an ongoing debate in Brussels and national capitals over industrial policy, subsidies and how far the EU should go to secure its own battery manufacturing capacity.
Why now: Concerns about Europe's dependence on foreign battery supply as the EU pushes its electric vehicle transition are driving current debate over industrial policy.
