Dynamics of Chinese EV projects in Europe – with Dr. Ágnes Szunomár
Chinese EV companies are gaining a foothold in European markets to sell EVs and to supply European EV manufacturers with locally manufactured EV batteries. The Central and Eastern European region – host to most of the Chinese EV and EV battery projects in Europe – exemplifies the emerging role of China, and presents an exceptional case study for how Chinese firms, technologies, and supply chains helps and hinders Europe’s green transition. By focusing on cases of Chinese EV battery investments in CEE, this podcast episode explores the multi-layered impacts of these investments and offers a nuanced understanding of the intricate dynamics shaping contemporary transitions to electromobility.

In this podcast, Dr. Ágnes Szunomár, Associate professor at Corvinus University of Budapest, shares her recent research findings on the dynamics of Chinese EV projects in Europe. Hosted by John Seaman, a Research Fellow at the French Institute of International Relations (Ifri).

This podcast is part of our shared effort to foster dialogue and deepen understanding of China’s evolving role in Europe and beyond.
