Putin opens first battery cluster complex, urges localization in Russia
En breve
Russian President Vladimir Putin said at the opening of the first complex in a Moscow electric battery production cluster that Russia must increase battery output, improve technology and raise localization, including by developing mineral deposits. He called on business and science to cooperate, said the state will support the industry, and noted cooperation with foreign partners to adopt best practices. Kommersant reported that Russia relies on Chinese, South Korean and US cells, and that a full technological cycle is a strategic goal.
Por qué importa
The statements signal continued state support for Russia’s battery industry as it seeks to reduce dependence on imported cells from China, the United States and South Korea and build a full technological cycle. The focus on localization and foreign cooperation, particularly with China, indicates the path Moscow intends to take to develop domestic production of energy storage and electric vehicle batteries.
