Deputy Prime Minister Karel Havlíček

He speaks of the Czech gigafactory as the largest investment possible by the current government. The eventual success and attracting billions to flashlights would serve not only as a solid trump card before the parliamentary elections, but also as a positive signal to other potential investors in other battery factories in the Czech Republic. Havlíček is taking part in negotiations at the top level between Volkswagen, Škoda and ČEZ, and possible luring of Volkswagen would also mean his personal significant success.




CEZ Director Daniel Benes

While we will wait a few more years for the truly mass expansion of electric cars, the winners and losers of the transformation of the automotive industry are now being decided. CEZ's helmsman knows this well and is pushing the energy giant into key projects: the semi-state company is to participate in the operation of the gigafactory, is preparing to mine lithium - the metal of the future, which is key to batteries - at Cínovec, and is building a network of charging stations.
