Germany on the way to becoming a battery cell center

A quarter of the predicted European production capacities of battery cells could be covered by Germany by the end of the decade. This is the result of a data analysis by researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI in Karlsruhe. To do this, the experts took a close look at the plans and announcements of more than 40 companies worldwide that want to set up battery factories in Europe. On this basis, they then developed scenarios that were as realistic as possible, said battery researcher Lukas Weymann.
