Chinese battery exports face headwinds; can Korean makers narrow gap in Europe

China\'s battery industry is facing narrowing export routes as Beijing withdraws tax support for mainstream lithium-ion batteries and shifts focus to next-generation technologies, while the European Union moves to curb exports of Chinese hybrid and plug-in hybrid cars. Analysts say Korean battery makers with production bases in Europe may get a chance to narrow the price gap. The EU also plans tougher origin requirements for subsidies, raising pressure on Korean firms to localise sourcing.
