Europe invested 200 billion euros so far to boost EV sector, New Automotive data shows
New AutoMotive said battery supply-chain spending leads the total, but only a fraction has become operational capacity as 600 GWh of projects slip or stall.
- On Monday, New Automotive reported that European Economic Area countries and Switzerland have committed nearly €200 billion to their electric vehicle ecosystem, marking a significant milestone in the region's industrial transition.
- Investments prioritize reducing reliance on China, which produced more than 80% of global batteries in 2025; commitments include €109 billion for battery supply chains and €60 billion for EV manufacturing.
- However, roughly 600 GWh of announced battery capacity has been delayed or cancelled, including Northvolt's collapse which removed 100 GWh of planned 2030 capacity, leaving announced capacity theoretical until projects translate into operational output.
- These projects support more than 150,000 jobs, with 300,000 more possible if all announced plans succeed; Germany serves as the largest regional hub, while France and Spain emerged as major beneficiaries.
- McKinsey estimates that achieving regional competitiveness requires an additional €200-300 billion by 2035, while policymakers must address structural challenges regarding energy costs and manufacturing scale against Chinese and Korean rivals.
