  • 2021-09-10AnnouncedItalvolt signed a one-million-square-metre land purchase at Scarmagno for a 45 GWh site: 'The purchased land is located in the municipality of Scarmagno, which is in Italy's second largest region of Piedmont, where the former Olivetti factory stood.'source
  • 2024-01Cancelled'The second project, Italvolt, in Italy also went bankrupt in January 2024.' Trade press, recorded as such: the company is dissolved and issued no closing statement, and the day within January is not given. DATE CORRECTED 9 SEPTEMBER 2026, FROM 31 JANUARY TO 1 JANUARY. It sat at the month's END on a convention written in this note — putting it late so as not to claim precision — which contradicted the padding rule in scope.md and which no count could read: a series measuring how long this project lasted would have taken the 31st for a day somebody knew. It is now padded to the first of its month, which is the earliest the bankruptcy can have happened, and `date_precision` says `month` where the note used to.source

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.

Funding

No public capital recorded for this project.
