Europe’s EV battery price hole with China \u2013 at the moment round 90 p.c \u2013 might shrink to roughly 30 p.c by 2030 if Brussels is prepared to pay what campaigners name a “sovereignty premium.”<\/p>\n

That is the gist of a brand new analysis<\/a> [PDF] from Transport & Setting (T&E), launched forward of the European Fee’s delayed<\/a> unveiling of the Industrial Accelerator Act, which argues Europe’s battery headache is not a scarcity of chemistry know-how, however moderately a easy case of not having constructed sufficient but.<\/p>\n
