"New sustainable batteries are key to enabling the industry transition. Without it we will not achieve our European climate ambition," says MEP @jessicapolfjard.

What I’d like to see is standardisation of Li batteries for home products - e.g. power tools, garden machinery etc. Similar to the standardisation of the USB charger and move to universal USB-C. Every damned thing I have has a requirement for the manufacturers own battery. Duplication/triplicating/quadruplication, and so on.
