Nuria Gisbert Trejo, director-general of CIC Energigune, a Spanish energy storage research institute, thinks Chinese investment in battery factories in Europe is a problem because they reduce Europe’s independence and autonomy in a key sector for the future.
Meanwhile, Europe is welcoming Chinese battery makers with open arms. CATL is building an $8 billion facility in Hungary, its largest plant in Europe. Envision AESC will build factories in Spain and France. SVolt, a company spun out of a partnership between BMW and Great Wall Motor, is aiming to build five plants in Europe.
When the U.S. pulled back investment in EV and battery manufacturing, China doubled down. Now, over 80% of the world's lithium-ion batteries are made in China. Before 2010, China was eons behind the U.S., Europe, and Japan in making competitive gas-powered cars.

The UK is eighth with just 20GWh. In addition to battery production that has already been announced, a slew of Chinese brands, from BYD to Great Wall and Nio, plan significant sales growth in Europe. This will, in time, mean vehicle assembly and even more battery plants that are also likely to use Chinese technology.
