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

9. 5. 2026 Renault CEO François Provost rejects any change in course regarding the phase-out of internal combustion engines by 2035, arguing that electric vehicles are beginning to pay off financially for Renault. According to him, the automaker has already invested heavily in electrification, and turning back would harm both the industry and customers. By 2030, the automotive industry could be hit by more than 100 new regulations that increase costs but often do not provide clear benefits to customers. edison.media 🇩🇪
8. 5. 2026 CATL’s new Shenxing battery takes fast charging to the extreme. It is said to charge from 10% to 80% in 3 minutes and 44 seconds, and from 10% to 98% in 6 minutes and 27 seconds. The third-generation Qilin battery thus supports a peak charging power of 15C. The 125 kWh battery is expected to give the car a range of over 1,000 km. cnevpost.com 🇬🇧
7. 5. 2026 MAN has developed a fully electric city bus for automated operation in Munich. The Lion’s City 12 E features an automated driving system from ADASTEC and, following tests at the manufacturer’s facility, is set to be tested by MVG in city traffic starting in the fall of 2026. It uses 5 LiDAR sensors, 6 radars, 8 cameras, and GNSS. The vehicle already meets the technical requirements for automated driving, and current tests are also verifying precise stopping at bus stops. press.mantruckandbus.com 🇬🇧
6. 5. 2026 The JRC warns that the EU lacks a competitive advantage over its main rivals in the battery sector. A new CETO report assesses the technology, market, production, trade, patents, and sustainability of lithium-ion batteries and shows that the European sector needs to turn things around quickly. The report’s authors identify the main barriers to European battery production: a weak domestic supply of raw materials, high energy, labor, and investment costs, a shortage of skilled workers, complex legislation, and uncertain demand for EU-made batteries. publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu 🇬🇧
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 🇩🇪
