【亿纬锂能 responds to the U.S. Department of Defense banning the purchase of batteries from six Chinese companies】On January 22nd, in response to the U.S. Department of Defense's ban on purchasing batteries from six Chinese companies, the responsible persons from CATL (Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited) and EVE Energy Co., Ltd. responded that the ban is not a new development and mainly targets the core battery supply for the U.S. Department of Defense. It restricts the military battery procurement for the Department of Defense, but has no impact on civilian commercial cooperation. The companies do not supply goods to the U.S. Department of Defense and do not have any related cooperation plans, therefore it has no impact on the companies.
