While the rise of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) across Europe has become inevitable, it can be easy to forget there is a whole new supply chain on the rise to make it all happen.
With the battery supply chain in Europe already supporting more than 60,000 jobs - and with estimates suggesting this could reach 300,000 by 2030 - it is more important than ever to highlight this key industry.
Our new app explores this supply chain, from mining the key elements in battery manufacturing to recycling batteries at the end of each life-cycle. From northern Norway to southern Spain, this growing industry is pivotal in helping us reduce our emissions.
For policy-makers, industry experts, journalists, and industrial strategists our new app can act as a one-stop shop for all the developments across Europe as we head towards 2030 and beyond.

How Southern Spain is Building Europe’s Battery Future
New AutoMotive has published the first in a new series of case studies looking at Europe’s emerging battery supply chain hubs. This report explores how the regions of Andalusia and Extremadura are rapidly becoming one of Europe’s most important battery manufacturing centres.
Once overlooked for industrial investment, the region is now attracting billions in funding and building out a local supply chain from mining to gigafactories. The transformation is already delivering jobs, investment, and long-term opportunity in areas that have historically faced high unemployment and economic disadvantage.
However, investment alone is not enough to secure long-term success. Spain still lags behind its European neighbours in the adoption of electric vehicles. Without stronger demand-side policy, including more ambitious EU-level CO₂ standards and greater support for EV consumers, there is a risk that these factories will struggle to find a stable home market.
To safeguard the opportunity and ensure that these new facilities can thrive, governments must act to boost demand for electric vehicles, both in Spain and across the EU.
