Czech utility CEZ plans to build a 'gigafactory' for batteries for cars in North Bohemia in the coming years that would use lithium discovered in the Ore Mountains near Cínovec, on the German border.
Minister of Industry and Trade Karel Havlícek said during a visit to Berlin on Wednesday that CEZ plans to use lithium stocks from both countries.
The Czech Republic has the biggest lithium reserves in Europe and many politicians have pushed for its mining to be in the hands of a state-controlled company, such as CEZ.
