Almost 52% of Germany's gross electricity consumption was produced by renewable electricity in 2023. An increase of 5% in one year. The goal is 80% by 2030; 100% by 2035. (www.cleanenergywire.org)

We can "import" that stuff but the necessary materials reduce with every generation of cells and the materials can be sourced locally (within EU)
