CATL in talks with international partners

Contemporary Amperex Technology Co Ltd, the world's largest electric vehicle battery maker, is in discussion with a European partner regarding the establishment of multiple EV battery recycling stations across Europe.

"We are finding global partners. For example, in the recycling business, we are talking to a European partner. I cannot reveal who, but we are looking at setting up recycling sites, not just one, but (many) sites in Europe," CATL Chief Manufacturing Officer Ni Jun told China Daily on Wednesday, at the 14th Annual Meeting of the New Champions, also known as the Summer Davos Forum, in Tianjin.

According to Ni, CATL is also looking for partners in North America. "The circular economy needs to do it locally," he said.
