skellefteå, sweden - Discover the downfall of Swedish Northvolt, once Europe's green battery giant, now facing bankruptcy after major setbacks.

Europe's Electric Hope Fades: Northvolt's Downfall

In February 2025, Northvolt, once envisioned as Europe's largest green battery factory, faces bankruptcy in Skellefteå, Sweden.

Rise and Fall of Northvolt

  • Founded by former Tesla employee Peter Carlsson, Northvolt attracted global talent and major investments.
  • Initially praised by European politics and auto industry, Northvolt faced production issues, decreasing demand, and financial crisis.

Unforeseen Challenges

  • Management issues, unrealistic planning, and equipment problems led to a delayed production and loss of major contracts.
  • BMW's cancellation of a billion-dollar order marked a turning point in Northvolt's downfall.

Bankruptcy and Impact

  • With a debt of €5.4 billion, Northvolt filed for bankruptcy, leaving 5000 employees in Skellefteå searching for new opportunities.
  • Migrants employed by Northvolt facing uncertainty due to work permit dependency.

Northvolt's bankruptcy signals a significant setback in Europe's green energy transition.
