Chinese automakers develop their own batteries in the face of CATL
Late October 2026, more and more automakers are betting on developing their own batteries, disrupting the balance of the traction battery sector. Early November, Chinese automakers are described as accelerating in-house battery development, while the sector remains dominated by large manufacturers such as CATL. An analysis published on November 3 highlights that these automakers are torn between in-house batteries and dependence on CATL, with prepayments and supply contracts remaining massive.
