E-mobility in Slovakia

Slovakia is a world leader in car production and its automotive industry is rapidly transforming towards electromobility and batteries. A shift away from fossil fuels is inevitable and the electro-mobility ecosystem has huge growth potential. Although EVs are rapidly gaining ground around the world, we have so far been unable to give them substantial political support or convince the general public of their benefits.

SEVA´s objectives include:

  • spreading awareness among the professional and general public
  • providing an overview of entities active in electromobility in Slovakia
  • supporting companies in the transition to electrified transport, and more.

Latest news

5. 5. 2026 Bruegel shows that European battery cell production is concentrated primarily in Hungary and Poland. Hungary has the largest capacity both in operation and under construction, exceeding 210 GWh. France and Spain have ambitious plans for the battery industry, but their production volume relies primarily on announced or under-construction capacities. Slovakia appears in Bruegel’s overview among countries with planned battery cell production. The chart attributes approximately 40 GWh of capacity to it, though no production is currently operational. bruegel.org 🇬🇧
4. 5. 2026 Heavy-duty trucks account for only 2% of vehicles but produce approximately a quarter of road transport emissions. European companies are calling on EU member states to fully utilize the option to exempt zero-emission trucks from tolls and fees. The Eurovignette Directive grants countries this authority until June 30, 2031, and is intended to improve the economics of electric freight transport. According to the coalition of companies, zero-emission trucks already make economic sense in several types of operations, but they need lower operating costs. globaldrivetozero.org 🇬🇧
3. 5. 2026 Volvo Trucks is introducing new electric trucks with a range of up to 700 km. The FH Aero Electric with extended range is designed for long-haul and intercity transport, where it aims to replace diesel without any significant loss of productivity. The new truck uses a compact e-axle, which frees up space for more batteries. Charging 8 batteries from 20% to 80% is expected to take approximately 50 minutes with the standard 700 kW MCS, which fits within the mandatory driver break in the EU. Volvo is also updating the FH, FM, and FMX Electric models. volvotrucks.com 🇬🇧
2. 5. 2026 CATL plans to launch mass production of sodium-ion batteries in 2026. The company claims to have resolved key manufacturing challenges and, with a more mature supply chain, expects electric vehicles to achieve a range of up to 600 km. Sodium-ion batteries are expected to offer a cheaper alternative to LFP and NMC cells. CATL highlights their cold-weather performance, lower reliance on rare raw materials, and the potential to replace 30 to 40% of today’s battery market. The technology currently has a weakness in energy density. carnewschina.com 🇬🇧
2. 5. 2026 New car registrations in the EU rose by 4% in the first quarter of 2026. Battery electric vehicles reached a market share of 19.4%, while hybrids remained the most popular choice among customers, with a share of 38.6%. In the EU, 546,937 new battery electric vehicles were registered in the first three months of the year. The largest markets saw significant growth: Italy by 65.7%, France by 50.4%, and Germany by 41.3%. Belgium, on the other hand, saw a decline of 2.3%. acea.auto 🇬🇧
1. 5. 2026 BYD has topped the AutomotiveINNOVATIONS ranking for the first time as the global automotive group with the strongest innovation capabilities. The Chinese leader is followed by Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz, confirming a significant shift in the balance of technological power within the automotive industry. BYD stands out particularly for the speed of its development and the widespread adoption of new technologies. Chinese automakers have increased their share of global innovation strength from 28% in 2019 to approximately 47% in 2023. German brands are growing again after a slump, but still lag behind China by nearly 20 percentage points. Tesla finished as low as 24th. auto-institut.de 🇩🇪
30. 4. 2026
Nissan has unveiled its long-term vision, "Mobility Intelligence for Everyday Life." It focuses on integrating artificial intelligence, autonomous driving, and electrification to improve safety, comfort, and time management while driving. AI is set to be a key element of the brand’s future vehicles. The technology is expected to be available in up to 90% of models in the future. nissannews.com 🇬🇧
29. 4. 2026
The automotive industry is entering the era of software-defined vehicles. SDVs are no longer just a technological trend; they are transforming the entire business model, the way value is created, and the competitive position of manufacturers within the global mobility ecosystem. However, the gaps between players are widening. Chinese companies are accelerating the development of their own technologies and building flexible software platforms, while many Western manufacturers remain tied to fragmented systems and external suppliers. alixpartners.com 🇬🇧
28. 4. 2026
Volkswagen is launching Vehicle-to-Grid for households in Germany. Starting in the fourth quarter of 2026, electric vehicle owners will be able to not only charge their vehicles but also feed energy back into the grid. The solution integrates the car, charger, tariff plan, smart meter, and app into a single system. Volkswagen states that thanks to V2G, customers can achieve savings or earnings of up to €700 to €900 per year. The reward depends on the willingness to make the battery available to the energy market and to adjust charging according to the grid’s needs. volkswagen-group.com 🇬🇧
27. 4. 2026
BMW will end production of internal combustion engine vehicles in Munich. Starting at the end of 2027, the main plant will produce exclusively electric vehicles, bringing to a close a 75-year era of combustion engine models. This is the first existing BMW plant to transition to fully electric production, with a €650 million investment in modernization. Electric vehicles already account for every other car rolling off the assembly line in Munich. bmwgroup.com 🇬🇧
