Düsseldorf: European automaker Volkswagen is seeking alternative ways to financially structure its battery subsidiary, Powerco. The company is reportedly in talks with a Chinese battery manufacturer, Gotion, to enter into a joint venture for a new Powerco factory in Spain near Valencia. Gotion announced the partnership in a stock announcement on Monday, with Volkswagen's subsidiary confirming the deal the same day.
The three planned joint ventures in Spain, Morocco, and Slovakia are valued at billions of dollars and mark the first China-Joint Ventures by Volkswagen in Europe. The largest project is the factory in Sagunt, where a 30 Gigawatt-hour capacity plant is expected to be constructed annually, capable of equipping up to 500,000 electric vehicles with batteries. The total investment for the Sagunt plant is estimated at around 2.3 billion euros.
