In June, the Moroccan government signed an investment agreement with Gotion for a battery factory with a total investment of 12.8 billion dirhams ($1.3 billion) and an initial battery capacity of 20 GWh.
In June this year, the Moroccan government announced that Gotion High-Tech would invest $1.3 billion (US) to build a gigafactory for EV batteries. The initial planned production capacity is 20 GWh, with future plans to gradually increase it to 100 GWh, and the total investment is expected to reach $6.5 billion.
Morocco holds 71% of the world's phosphate reserves and is rich in cobalt resources, providing core raw materials for lithium iron phosphate and ternary batteries. Coupled with its geographical advantage of being close to Europe and supportive policies, several Chinese battery companies have deeply established themselves in the Moroccan market.
