According to the British Financial Times reported, 2 Mingtesila (Tesla) former executives plan to build a $ 4 billion worth of lithium battery factory in northern Europe, which will be Europe's first large-scale electric car battery factory, to be Ascension in demand for electric cars In competition with Asian rivals in the dominant battery market, not against Tesla.

Tesla's former head of supply chain, now the founder and CEO of Northvolt, Peter Carlsson, plans to let Europe's first large-scale battery factory settle in the Nordic countries. It is expected to start production by 2020 and make annual electricity by 2023. Production capacity reached 32 billion watt hours (GWH). Swedish Carlson said in an interview: "If no one builds a battery factory in Europe, we will rely entirely on the Asian supply chain, and Europe has the opportunity to achieve energy independence."

Japanese and Korean companies have mastered most of the electric vehicle battery market, and the influence of Chinese players has gradually emerged. Tesla and Panasonic have established a 35GWH super battery factory in Nevada, but the batteries they produce are for their own use.

Tesla's former senior executive, now known as the North Volt's operating Paolo Cerruti, said that Asian rivals lacked "structural advantages" and that the battery market's dominant position was mainly due to their strengths - consumer electronics.

Cutting the embankment states: "The production of batteries is an automated process that does not require cheap labor, but requires highly skilled engineers. Energy is a very important part of the cost, and Europe needs to do some work." Northvolt is looking for a suitable location in Northern Europe. In particular, in Sweden, screening conditions include whether the local can provide clean energy, such as water or wind. Rich mineral resources are also an important consideration, such as Finland and other countries.

Early investors at Northvolt include the state-owned Swedish power company Vattenfall, the Swedish shipping giant Stena and the Swedish Energy Agency.

Carlson and Che Ludi, who have been in Tesla for about five years, stressed that they have no intention of being an enemy of the old club Tesla. The cut embankment said: "We must aim at the Tesla."
