By Christopher Ludwig2022-12-08T18:14:00
In our second panel discussion CATL, Italvolt and Basquevolt joined us to discuss the need for huge investment to establish regional production of battery cells and packs in Europe.
Battery manufacturers such as CATL, startup players, and OEMs are investing hugely to establish regional production of battery cells and packs in Europe, with gigafactories coming online. Producing EV batteries brings a range of new complexities, from access to renewable energy and materials and keeping up with chemistry changes in battery cells, to integrating battery enclosure structures in modules.
This session featured major battery producers and startups, manufacturers and specialists exploring the production strategies, constraints and opportunities in ramping up output of EV batteries, including in automation, supply chain, chemistries, materials and much more.
Featuring
Matthias Zentgraf, President for Europe, CATL
Francisco Carranza, CEO, Basquevolt
Lars Carlstrom, Founder and CEO, Italvolt
