I interviewed Northvolt CEO Peter Carlsson, who is building a Europe’s largest giga-factory for lithium-ion batteries in Sweden.
He spent more than four years at Tesla as VP Supply Chain, realising two major problems in EV battery manufacturing.
I interviewed him to learn about its business model to produce lithium-ion batteries at a low cost.
He says battery manufacturing itself consumes a large amount of energy, and there is no point if they burn coal to produce the electricity. That is why he is building the factory in Sweden, where the electricity is cheap and clean.
