Morocco Gears Up for Electric Vehicles with Battery Boom
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Morocco is accelerating its journey towards electric vehicles (EVs) by attracting more electric battery manufacturers. This move aims to transform the country’s thriving automotive industry to meet the growing demand for eco-friendly cars.

The news comes from Ryad Mezzour, Morocco’s industry and trade minister. He revealed that the government is in talks with several companies to set up battery production plants. This strategy aligns with Morocco’s impressive automotive sector, currently the top industrial exporter, generating a whopping $14 billion in 2023.

The country is already home to major car manufacturers like Stellantis and Renault, boasting a combined production capacity of 700,000 vehicles annually. Additionally, a network of local suppliers supports this vibrant industry.

Morocco is taking concrete steps to embrace the EV revolution. Last week, they signed a deal with Chinese battery maker BTR New Material Group to build a factory near Tangier. This facility will produce cathodes, a crucial component in EV batteries. Negotiations are ongoing with another Chinese company, CNGR Advanced Material, to establish a similar plant.

The government’s ambition doesn’t stop there. Discussions are underway with a potential giant – China’s Gotion. This collaboration could lead to a “gigafactory,” a massive facility dedicated to large-scale battery production, with an investment reaching up to $6.3 billion.

Mezzour emphasized that battery production is just the first step. The next phase will focus on developing car platforms and electric motors, creating a comprehensive EV ecosystem in Morocco.

This push towards EVs has a clear goal: by 2030, Morocco aims for electric vehicles to make up 60% of its car exports. This ambitious target positions Morocco ahead of the European Union’s ban on fossil-fuel cars in 2035.

Existing car manufacturers are also adapting. Stellantis is already producing electric cars at their Kenitra plant, while Renault plans to launch a hybrid version of a popular model later this year.

Overall, Morocco is making a strategic move to secure its place in the future of transportation. By attracting battery manufacturers and fostering EV production, the country is poised to become a key player in the global electric vehicle market.
