6 FAQs about [Why don t foreign countries research battery technology ]

How will Germany's battery research cuts affect the European battery industry?

According to media reports, the impending cuts to German battery research could have a drastic impact on the competitiveness of the German and thus European battery industry - because this could further increase the already noticeable shortage of skilled labour and scientific experts.

How many battery researchers are there in Europe?

Since the active start of battery research funding, especially for electric mobility, the number of battery researchers in Europe has risen from a few hundred before 2010 to an estimated 30,000-40,000 today. In Germany alone, around 15,000 have been educated.

Is Europe better positioned for alternative battery technology?

What if battery research is not funded?

If investment in battery research and thus in the education of academic experts continues at the current level, their share of the industrial labour market could double by 2030. Without research funding, our calculations show that the number of battery experts would develop much more slowly or even stagnate.

Should Europe rely on China for battery technology?

Europe already relies on China for battery technology, said Guido Cozzi, an economist at the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland. “It is not too late, but I think they should act pretty fast, because China is moving very fast in this sector,” Cozzi told VOA.

Are alternative batteries the future of battery technology?

The growing global demand for batteries is currently covered for the largest part by lithium-ion batteries. However, alternative battery technologies are increasingly coming into focus due to geopolitical dependencies and resource availability.
