“This collaboration with Kandi reflects our shared vision to globalize advanced battery manufacturing while adapting to the evolving U.S. market,” Zhiguang Hu, CEO of CBAK Energy, said in a release.
“Our expertise in cell design and production will be key to establishing a reliable local supply for emerging off-road and recreational vehicle platforms.”
The collaboration comes at a time of escalating tensions between Washington and Beijing over trade tariffs, with China recently suspending exports of several critical minerals and magnets, in a move that threatens to disrupt global supply.
