Batteries: Chinese automakers develop their own cells
In China, several automakers are accelerating the development of their own traction batteries, a strategy that changes the balance against major suppliers such as CATL. Geely plans trials of semi-solid batteries announced at 1,000 km of range, GAC announces its first solid-state batteries before the end of the year, and BYD reaches full production of its Blade batteries in Shaanxi. While some seek to reduce their dependence on CATL, IM Motors on the contrary strengthens its supply partnership. The story is covered in China, Brazil and Italy, without notable national differences reported in the provided sub-events.
