On April 8th, local time, the European Commission approved Slovakia's €267 million national aid plan for Volvo Cars.

On April 8th, the European Commission approved Slovakia's plan of €267 million state aid for Volvo Cars. The plan aims to subsidize Volvo's new electric car factory in Valašské Meziříčí in the form of grants. The factory will mainly produce passenger cars and is planned to start mass production in 2026 with an annual capacity of 250,000 vehicles. Volvo Cars will invest over €1.2 billion on this project. SMM believes that due to the current competition among other major producing countries to subsidise the electric vehicle industry, the EU will further relax the relevant restrictions on state aid and may introduce more measures to encourage European and overseas companies to set up production capacity for electric vehicles and related products in Europe.

The U.S. Congress has adopted new measures to prohibit the purchase of Chinese batteries, including those from BYD and CATL.

The U.S. Congress has prohibited the Department of Defense from purchasing batteries from six Chinese companies, including CATL and BYD, effective October 2027, aiming to decouple from China's supply chain. This part of the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act doesn't affect commercial purchases, allowing companies like Ford and Tesla to continue their collaborations. The move is aligned with efforts under the Inflation Reduction Act to phase out subsidies for electric vehicles with Chinese battery components, signaling a strategic push towards bolstering domestic manufacturing and reducing dependency on China's leading position in the global lithium battery market.
