Battery Battle – No Electric Cars Without China?

PLAY

Whoever masters the battery controls the key technology of the future. Can Europe still catch up and regain its technological sovereignty?

Europe wanted to become a global battery power with Northvolt – and failed spectacularly. This documentary tells the story of an industry that became the central question of the future overnight: whoever masters the battery controls electric mobility. While China has long been building gigafactories in series, Europe is struggling with political uncertainty, a lack of know-how and ambitious, often hasty large-scale projects. Is there still hope for Europe?
