The global energy storage market almost tripled in 2023, the largest year-on-year gain on record. Growth is set against the backdrop of the lowest-ever prices, especially in China where turnkey energy
This intermittency challenges the grid''s energy reliability. If the global energy system will be 70% reliant on renewable energy sources by 2050, this challenge will get
It''s no secret — China''s electric vehicle market is the most developed in the world. Related to that, EVs account for about half of the country''s new car sales and it''s a
Ever wondered how Europe charges its electric vehicles during windless nights or how China stabilizes its grid with 60% renewable energy? The answer lies in the China-Europe
A rapid shift towards low-emission vehicles – primarily electric vehicles (EVs) – is therefore necessary. However, the route to a mass-market EV fleet is proving more complex than anticipated.

Chinese firms have also become major investors in Europe’s battery and EV supply chains. This influx of Chinese foreign direct investment presents Europe with a strategic dilemma. There are clear short-term benefits: Chinese investment expands production capacity, sustains regional jobs and accelerates the decarbonisation timeline.
By 2024, one in four EVs sold in the EU was made in China – a dramatic rise from almost zero in 2019 (Transport & Environment, 2024). These vehicles retail at an average €32,000 (Sebastian et al, 2024), presenting an attractive option for cost-conscious consumers and a formidable challenge to domestic producers.
In this context, Chinese foreign direct investment (FDI) into Europe’s EV and battery sectors is accelerating. This influx of capital offers clear benefits: it helps scale up production, creates regional jobs and supports achievement of climate targets. But it also raises strategic issues.
First, once Chinese EV manufacturers start producing in Europe, duties could be extended to cover parts and components if more than 60 percent of a vehicle’s value originates from China, or if EU value added falls below 25 percent – thresholds that are consistent with EU anti-circumvention rules (Regulation (EU) 2016/1036).
BYD's electric models attract visitors at a new energy auto expo in Beijing. [Photo by A QING / FOR CHINA DAILY] BERLIN - Chinese new-energy vehicle companies, including battery and car makers, are entering Germany with innovations, a German car expert said on Friday.
There is growing evidence that Chinese and foreign investment in the EU auto and battery sectors often involves a front-loaded phase of imports, particularly of electrical equipment, during the transition from construction to operational readiness (McKinsey, 2022).
