Germany and France set out a blueprint for a giant battery factory, advancing Europe’s 5-billion-euro bid to rival the capacity of Tesla Inc. and China to supply the key part for electric vehicles.
The facility at Groupe PSA-Opel’s site in Kaiserslautern involves Total SA’s Saft Groupe in a plant that will be named the Automotive Cell Co. The plant will cost about 2 billion euros and will complement a French factory in the Hauts de France region. Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., or CATL, and BYD Co. Ltd. of China are among the leaders in making lithium-ion battery cells, while Tesla has invested in a string of “gigafactories” to supply its luxury electric cars.

I want to know when the first megafactory is being built to refurbish old electric batteries. There’s thousands of, for example, Prius cars on the road that are at or close to the end of their battery lives, but could easily be done over, and reused.
Europe Corp.?
