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.

Gotion High-Tech has unveiled a new generation of “Gnascent” sodium-ion batteries with an energy density of up to 261 Wh/kg and announced that it is ready to begin mass production of the battery in China. The batteries will be optimized for various applications: the version for extreme conditions operates down to -50 °C, while the version for energy storage can handle more than 20,000 cycles. carnewschina.com 🇬🇧

Chinese automaker SAIC plans to build its first EU plant in Galicia, Spain, with an investment of approximately 200 million euros. The project also includes a logistics center and aims to strengthen the MG brand’s manufacturing presence in Europe. Construction is expected to begin in 2027, with production set to start in 2028. The plant is expected to create approximately 1,000 jobs and reach a capacity of up to 120,000 vehicles per year in its final phase. reuters.com 🇬🇧

An ICCT analysis based on data from 8 million vehicles shows that real-world CO2 emissions from internal combustion engine cars in Europe were 19% higher than official figures in 2023. The gap is gradually widening even after the introduction of the WLTP. Plug-in hybrids show a significantly larger discrepancy: real-world emissions in 2023 were approximately five times higher than official figures. The main reason is the overestimated share of electric driving in test cycles. theicct.org 🇬🇧

An expert from Continental explains why special tires for electric vehicles are more of a marketing ploy than a technical necessity. The key tire specifications are the same for all cars, regardless of their powertrain. While electric cars place higher demands on tires due to their weight and torque, a similar trend is also emerging for internal combustion engine cars. Manufacturers therefore optimize tires universally, not by drive type. edison.media 🇩🇪

Scania is investing 70 million euros in its plant in Angers, France, to boost production capacity for electric trucks. The plant expansion and line modifications are intended to support the transition to zero-emission transport in Europe. The plant will be capable of producing both electric and internal combustion engine trucks, increasing production flexibility in response to shifting demand. Scania is thus responding to market uncertainty and the need for a gradual transition in the heavy-duty transport segment. scania.com 🇬🇧

From the beginning of the year through the end of May, Volvo Cars achieved a 48% share of electrified vehicle sales, with pure electric vehicles accounting for 23% and plug-in hybrids for 25% of sales. Electrification thus accounts for nearly half of the brand’s global volume. Demand in Europe is driven primarily by the EX30 and EX40 models, confirming the brand’s strong position in the premium electric vehicle segment. volvocars.com 🇬🇧

Scania demonstrated one of the first Vehicle-to-Grid implementations for heavy-duty trucks using MCS megawatt charging. This means that electric trucks can not only operate but also actively support the power grid as flexible battery storage units. The technology enables bidirectional energy flow and real-time charging management based on grid needs. Trucks can provide services such as grid balancing, energy storage, and peak shaving, which fundamentally changes their role in the energy system. scania.com 🇬🇧
4. 6. 2026
In response to the crisis in the battery sector, the EU is preparing the Industrial Accelerator Act, which aims to stabilize and revive European production of batteries for electric vehicles. The new “Made in EU” rules will require that electric vehicles sold in the EU contain key battery components manufactured in Europe. Public procurement and subsidies will be tied to the local origin of batteries, which is intended to reduce dependence on China. spglobal.com 🇬🇧
3. 6. 2026
The EU is introducing digital battery passports for all batteries over 2 kWh, which will track the origin of raw materials, the carbon footprint, and the technical condition throughout the entire life cycle. The goal is to increase transparency in the battery supply chain. The new rules are intended to promote sustainable extraction of raw materials and more efficient battery recycling. Transparent battery data will create a competitive advantage for manufacturers who invest in cleaner technologies. The market will thus better reward quality, sustainability, and effective battery lifecycle management. youtube.com 🇬🇧

Mercedes-Benz plans to launch an urban driving assistance system in Germany by the end of 2026. The company aims to be among the first manufacturers in Europe to offer this technology. The MB.DRIVE ASSIST PRO system can handle traffic lights, lane changes, and heavy city traffic, but requires driver supervision. The technology was developed in collaboration with Nvidia and will gradually be rolled out across the model portfolio. reuters.com 🇬🇧
