More EV’s in Norway than petrol cars As of this very moment, Norway has more electric cars on the road than petrol vehicles. At the end of August, there were 751,450 EV’s and 755,244 petrol cars, each making up 26% of the total vehicle market. Due to monthly 10,000 EV sales in Norway with respect to only a few hundred petrol car sales, the petrol rate has now been surpassed.

Novel manufacturing process for high-performance lithium-metal battery The Horizon 2020 SOLiDIFY consortium, comprised of 14 European partners, has developed a high-performance lithium-metal solid-state battery. The prototype battery, manufactured in a state-of-the-art battery lab at EnergyVille, Belgium, features a unique “liquid-to-solid” processed electrolyte, jointly developed by imec, Empa and Solvionic. The battery boasts an impressive energy density of 1070 Wh/L, well above the 800 Wh/L for current lithium-ion batteries. The manufacturing process, which is both cost-effective and adaptable to existing lithium-ion battery production lines, paves the way for commercially viable solid-state lithium-metal batteries for electromobility.

Northvolt’s shock decision this week to shrink its operations and cut jobs has sparked fears that Europe's best shot at a home-grown electric vehicle battery champion may stall, sector experts and people familiar with the situation told Reuters. Struggling with order delays and the loss of a $2 billion BMW Group contract in June, CEO and ex-Tesla executive Peter Carlsson said on Monday the company he co-founded in 2016 would stop producing cathode active material (CAM) - a crucial battery component - scrap plans for a Swedish facility and seek investors for a plant in Poland. The Swedish company said it will focus on its core business of making battery cells, the units that store chemical energy. The decision effectively means Northvolt, Europe's most developed battery player, has stepped back from its original mission to be an all-in-one shop offering everything from material production and battery making to end-of-life recycling. Coming just as former European Central Bank head Mario Draghi warned of green tech competition from China in a long awaited report, the announcement raises questions about Northvolt's ability to be a major force in Europe's electric mobility push. "Northvolt was the doyen of European battery industry and if they can't produce (batteries), it really shows that, industrially, Europe is going to be incredibly dependent on Asia going forward," said Andy Leyland, co-founder of supply chain specialist SC Insights. Benchmark Mineral Intelligence analyst Evan Hartley said the scrapping of cathode active material production will put Europe "at a further disadvantage when it comes to local production". Northvolt has had problems in manufacturing high-quality batteries in high volumes to meet its ambitious targets while fighting Chinese rivals such as CATL (300750.SZ), opens new tab and BYD (002594.SZ), opens new tab, analysts told Reuters. Northvolt's sprawling business has been a complicating factor, they added. In its strategic review, the company did not address the issue of delays but said it would focus on being a battery cells leader. Northvolt will now need to buy its cathode active materials from Chinese or South Korean suppliers, said a person familiar with the matter.
