Europe's energy and electric vehicle sectors might find relief from their reliance on scarce Chinese raw materials, thanks to a “Breakthrough battery” sodium-ion battery recently introduced by its Swedish developer. . Plans for a SEK 13 billion large battery anode factory in Timrå, north of Sundsvall, have been entirely scrapped, according to Dagens Industri. The China-owned company Shanghai Putailai (PTL) was expected to employ 1,900 people. Swedish battery manufacturer Northvolt was among the potential. . The Swedish battery manufacturer Northvolt, once hailed as a key player in Europe's push towards green energy and reduced reliance on foreign energy supplies, now finds itself in a dire situation. Reports suggest that the company is facing insurmountable technical challenges with equipment supplied. . Researchers at the Stockholm School of Economics are investigating battery swapping – a technology for battery replacement that could accelerate the transition to fossil-free transport.
