Amid all the political back-and-forths, one would be forgiven for asking oneself whether Europe is making any progress with the green transition.

Key Points: 
  • Amid all the political back-and-forths, one would be forgiven for asking oneself whether Europe is making any progress with the green transition.
  • The consequence of such contradictions is a loss of credibility when it comes to achieving its objectives, and a delay in the race toward ecological transition.

A lead to maintain

    • This position is confirmed by foreign investors who find themselves attracted to the bloc’s green policies and regulatory clout.
    • The recent revaluation of the price of a tonne of CO2 above 100 euros suggests that it will be very effective indeed.
    • According to the IEA, Europe spent nearly 350 billion euros on such measures in 2022 - a record high.

Avoiding “the tragedy of the horizon”

    • Power is intended to be supported in part by the profits from the project “Horse”, which involves a joint venture with the Chinese carmaker Geely.
    • These moves demonstrate the decisive role of competition in developing a range of products and services in line with the imperatives of the energy transition.

How electric vehicle batteries could save the UK auto industry

Saturday, May 27, 2023

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is expected to build a multi-billion-pound electric vehicle (EV) battery plant in the UK rather than Spain – welcome news for British car makers.

Key Points: 
  • Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is expected to build a multi-billion-pound electric vehicle (EV) battery plant in the UK rather than Spain – welcome news for British car makers.
  • After decades of decline, this could help turn Britain into a base for battery production, saving its ailing auto sector.
  • This dictates the duty levied on a product based on where it was made, which could add tariffs on UK cars with Asia-made batteries.
  • It’s unlikely that one new battery plant alone will save the UK auto industry, but it’s certainly a step in the right direction.
  • But it’s become harder to make the business case for UK auto manufacturing as the realities of Brexit have set in.

British-made batteries

    • The shift from petrol and diesel engines to batteries is possibly one of the biggest opportunities for the UK to protect what’s left of its auto industry.
    • The batteries used to power EVs are large, expensive and difficult to transport because regulators often class them as hazardous materials making transportation subject to strict regulations.
    • It currently only has the capacity to make enough batteries for 40,000 cars a year.

The road ahead

    • But it seems the UK government hopes to catch up, with the help of the largest “British” car manufacturer JLR (actually owned by Indian group Tata).
    • This is why JLR’s plan to build the largest battery plant in the UK is very welcome news for UK auto manufacturing.
    • This could build on the blueprint British car manufacturing already designed with Japanese automakers in the 1980s.
