- Gotion Battery Investment in Spain secures major public backing.
- Battery recycling strengthens Europe's sustainable mobility ambitions.
The Spain Government has announced a major step toward strengthening the country's electric mobility ecosystem by supporting the Gotion Battery Investment in Spain. On July 1, the Ministry of Industry and Tourism confirmed that the company will develop a strategic battery project in Valladolid with a total investment of nearly EUR 940 million. The initiative will receive EUR 138 million in public funding through the PERTE Electric and Connected Vehicle program, reinforcing national efforts to expand electric vehicle manufacturing capacity and sustainable industrial development.
Project focuses on battery production and recycling
The investment is built around two primary activities designed to strengthen the electric vehicle battery value chain. One part of the project will establish facilities for manufacturing battery cathodes, while the second will develop advanced battery recycling systems capable of recovering valuable strategic raw materials. Together, these activities are intended to improve resource efficiency, support a more circular battery ecosystem, and enhance long-term competitiveness within the growing electric mobility industry.
