The European Union is increasing its oversight of Chinese investments, and Morocco’s growing battery and electric vehicle sector has become a focal point of this scrutiny. Concerns center around the level of Chinese involvement in Moroccan industrial projects. Brussels is wary of potential unfair competition and the possibility of circumvention of EU trade policies. Historical precedent, such as trade duties imposed on aluminum wheels, suggests the EU may implement similar measures. Morocco is actively engaging in discussions to protect its economic interests and defend its industrial model. This situation highlights the increasing geopolitical competition surrounding the electric vehicle supply chain and battery production.
