Chinese EV Investments Surge in Morocco Amid US Subsidy Shift

In response to new US subsidies aimed at boosting domestic electric vehicle production, Chinese manufacturers are increasingly investing in Morocco. Large-scale plans for EV parts factories are underway, driven by the demand from American carmakers. This shift is part of Chinese efforts to navigate new international trade rules and secure market positions.

In a significant shift influenced by new U.S. subsidies designed to boost domestic electric vehicle production, Chinese manufacturers are eyeing Morocco for their next big investments. The move comes as these companies seek to penetrate American markets by leveraging Morocco's free trade agreements with the United States.

Industrial parks near Tangiers and the Atlantic coast are transforming as Chinese firms announce plans for EV parts factories. These ventures aim to qualify for $7,500 credits available to U.S. car buyers, driven by both necessity and opportunity as new tariffs complicate direct exports from China.

Morocco, known for its largely agrarian economy and a median income of just $2,150 monthly, is rapidly becoming a key player in the EV supply chain. This development follows other significant global investments and marks a notable boom in the North African kingdom, according to Kevin Shang, a senior battery analyst at Wood Mackenzie.
