European automakers seek delay to 'Made in Europe' EV battery rules

· Automotive & EV

Industry association ACEA called for a delay to new 'Made in Europe' EV battery requirements, saying automakers will build fewer affordable EVs if the rules are too tough. That would make it harder to hit CO2 emissions targets.

Why it matters：Battery sourcing rules could delay affordable EV production and complicate emissions compliance for European manufacturers.

Key points

  • ACEA represents European automakers.
  • The group links strict battery rules to fewer affordable EV models.
  • It warns of knock-on difficulty meeting CO2 targets.
