We can not agree more with the finding that further research and development in battery manufacturing methods, alternative battery composition and battery recycling is necessary for a resilient and competitive EV industry. BEPA Executive Director Wouter IJzermans:
“In the light of the possible funding cuts, I think it’s crucial to highlight that the European Commission themselves say that ‘further research and development in battery manufacturing methods, alternative battery composition and battery recycling is necessary for a resilient and competitive EV industry.’ If it’s so crucial, why cut it?.”
