“The Belgian newspaper De Standaard published this claim on their website on the 18th of April. We rate this claim as mostly false.”
Again, even if the cost of b battery production in Germany two years ago was 15 tones, it doesn’t matter. Why? Because Germany made almost no car batteries two years ago, and the grid is rapidly decarbonising - in Germany and most of the world.
