Battery and Electrification Solutions Across Europe

The shift toward electric vehicles (EV) and sustainable energy is accelerating across Europe, driven by consumer demand and regulatory targets. In response, the European market has seen massive growth in EV and battery production, bringing unique expansion and relocation challenges for manufacturers in this sector.

So what might this mean for your EV factory?

The rise in demand for EVs and EV batteries across Europe

Here are five key statistics about the growth of electric vehicle (EV) and battery production in Europe:

1. Surging EV registrations: In 2023, battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) accounted for 14.6% of all new car registrations in Europe, a rise from 9.1% in 2021. Plug-in hybrids made up another 8.5% of registrations, reflecting a growing shift towards electrification​ (Source: The European Commission)
2. Expanding EV production: There’s been a rapid growth in the number of public charging stations across Europe, with over 650,000 charging points available by the end of 2023. This represents significant progress in infrastructure development to support the rising adoption of electric vehicles across the EU, Iceland, Norway, and Switzerland​.

3. Battery Industry Growth: By 2030, global battery demand is expected to increase 14-fold, with the EU projected to account for 17% of global demand. This is largely driven by the European Green Deal‘s push for sustainable energy solutions​ (Source: Internal Market SMES)
4. Battery manufacturing expansion: Over 20 gigafactories are being built or planned across Europe to meet the growing demand for electric vehicle batteries. These factories are part of a broader strategy to reduce dependency on Asia for battery production and boost European supply chain resilience. Notably, $30 billion in investments has already been committed to these projects, which are expected to produce over 462 GWh of battery cells by 2025 (Source: Open Access Government)
5. Investment in EV Infrastructure: The European Union has committed to an ambitious rollout of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, with a target of having 3 million public charging points across Europe by 2030. This investment aims to meet the growing demand for EVs and ensure that every EU citizen has access to charging facilities within a reasonable distance, further accelerating the transition to electric mobility​ (Source: The World Economic Forum)

As statistics continue to show rapid growth in the electric vehicle and battery production sectors, the demand for factories and machinery capable of supporting this expansion is spreading across Europe.
