Technology and measures

  • Gigafactory-scale cell manufacturingcommercialElectrode coating, cell assembly and formation run at gigawatt-hour scale on one site. It is the process node rather than a chemistry: the same lines make several chemistries, and what decides whether Europe has cells is whether the lines exist and yield, not which cathode runs through them.
  • Lithium iron phosphate cellscommercialA cathode of iron and phosphate rather than nickel, manganese and cobalt. Lower energy density and lower cost, and it removes the two metals whose supply is most concentrated outside Europe, which is why it is the chemistry the volume end of the market has moved to.

Funding

No public capital recorded for this project.
