Egypt signs deal to build EV battery factory
A contract has been signed to establish an Egyptian factory for the production of electric batteries at a cost of over 2 billion Egyptian pounds. The factory aims to meet the needs of both the Egyptian and global markets for vehicle and clean energy batteries. It will contribute to creating a local industrial base for battery technology, with a plan to increase production capacity from 1 gigawatt-hour in the first phase to 5 gigawatt-hours in the second phase, which will include manufacturing car batteries and energy storage systems for renewable energy. The project focuses on strengthening local manufacturing capabilities, reducing reliance on imports, and providing job opportunities, leveraging advanced technology, Egyptian expertise, and a partnership with China’s Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited (CATL), the world's largest battery manufacturer. The initiative seeks to develop Egypt’s battery industry and support the transition towards electric vehicles and sustainable energy, with an aim to achieve a local content ratio of up to 40%.
