Experts warn that Europe’s growing reliance on Chinese battery supply chains poses a strategic vulnerability, urging the EU to strengthen partnerships with South Korean manufacturers as an alternative. With China dominating global battery production, particularly for electric vehicles, analysts argue that diversifying sourcing could reduce economic and geopolitical risks for European industries. The push comes amid rising tensions over technology and trade, highlighting the need for a more balanced supply strategy. Collaboration with South Korea’s advanced battery sector could help Europe mitigate dependence on a single supplier while fostering innovation.
