【Taiwanology Ep.31】Germany's Battery Quest: Can Taiwan Follow?

From Tesla, VW to BYD, it seems all automakers want more of electric vehicles. But, how are they going to be powered? Today we're diving into the electrifying world of electric vehicles. With 80% of lithium batteries currently made in China, the West is seeking alternatives to diversify away. In May, CommonWealth's Kwangyin Liu visited AMG Lithium in Germany, Europe's first battery-grade lithium refinery. In this episode, we will explore Europe's ambitious plan to create its own battery supply chain, the steps involved, and the challenges ahead. We will also hear from experts in Berlin and Taiwan on how companies are planning to tap into this growing market. Join us as we uncover the efforts to power the future of transportation, amidst uncertainties brought by growing geopolitical tensions.
