Germany's Electric Mobility and the European Battery Alliance
Electromobility is one of the priorities of the German Industrial Strategy and the achievement of climate targets to reduce CO2 emissions. It is impossible to achieve these targets without large-scale production of batteries. Berlin was one of the initiators of the creation of the European battery platform. Its goal is to unite the European companies into a single network structure included in the global chain of production of batteries and their elements. This should ensure the reliability of the supply of the EU market with batteries. The article analyzes the role of Germany in the creation and activities of the European Battery Alliance - both at the state level and at the level of individual economic entities. Particular attention is paid to Berlin's cooperation with Paris and Warsaw. Among other things, the author concludes that, in contrast to the modest progress at the level of inter-state cooperation, Germany's private business has good practical results at the beginning of 2020, primarily in the field of cooperation with the Swedish Partners.
