Electric Vehicle Battery: Inauguration of Chinese-Moroccan EV
A Chinese-Moroccan joint venture announced on Wednesday the inauguration of a new factory for electric car battery components, the first of its kind in the North African country.
The Chinese battery projects include at least three joint ventures and several that reference Morocco's trade ties with the United States. The largest among them is Chinese-German battery-maker Gotion High-Tech, which signed a deal with Morocco last year for $6.4 billion investment to construct Africa's first electric vehicle battery factory.

Morocco already has production plants for automakers Stellantis and Renault, with a total capacity of 700,000 vehicles per year. It is this automotive sector along with its geographic proximity to Europe and free trade agreements with major markets in the EU and the US that make the country so attractive to Chinese EV battery makers.
Since 2023, several Chinese lithium battery industry chain companies, including CATL, Gotion High-Tech, Sunwoda, BTR, Huayou Cobalt, CNGR Advanced Material and Tinci Materials, have collectively invested in Morocco and built factories. The battery industry chain centered around LFP is forming rapidly.
