Northvolt announced it’s shifting development of its next-generation lithium-metal battery technology from California to its R&D campus, Northvolt Labs, in Västerås, Sweden.
They plan to consolidate the R&D and industrialization of Northvolt’s cell product portfolio — featuring lithium-ion, sodium-ion, and lithium-metal — into one location.
To date, Northvolt has been developing lithium-metal battery technology through Cuberg — a fully-owned subsidiary operating in the San Francisco Bay Area, California, acquired by Northvolt in 2021. Cuberg employees have been encouraged to apply to open positions matching their skillset across Northvolt, including Northvolt Labs and Northvolt Ett, or Northvolt North America, located in Montreal, Canada — a region benefitting from relevant expertise in advanced battery technology.
Shauna McIntyre will remain in a leadership role within Northvolt North America, engaged in expanding Northvolt’s presence in the region, as well as supporting the commercialization of Northvolt’s long-term technology roadmap and strategic positions.
