Batteries: Chinese automakers accelerate in-house development

Chinese automakers are accelerating the development of their own traction batteries, disrupting the balance of a sector dominated by major manufacturers such as CATL. This trend applies to the entire Chinese market, with divergent strategies: some seek to reduce their dependence on CATL, while IM Motors is instead strengthening its supply partnership. Geely highlights a battery capable of handling 1 MW charging, and GAC announces its first solid-state batteries before the end of the year. The provided sub-events cover only China; Italian coverage of the file brings no documented national difference.
