CATL, Bosch, VW Signal EV Supply Chain Reset

CATL, Bosch, and Volkswagen delivered three major signals on June 26 that highlight a global EV supply chain reset. CATL opened direct online battery cell sales to smaller integrators with a minimum order of just three boxes, while Bosch changed CEOs and Volkswagen reportedly weighed up to 100,000 job cuts and four plant closures. Together, the moves show how Chinese battery leaders are expanding influence as European suppliers and automakers scramble to cut costs and restructure.
