Charged electric cars | FREYR and Nidec complete battery manufacturing

In September, FREYR Battery and Japanese electric motor manufacturer Nidec announced plans to establish a downstream joint venture to produce battery modules and battery packs.

 Mass production is expected to start in 2025 and the goal is to manufacture more than 8 GWh per year of modules and packaging from 2027 and 12 GWh per year by 2030 Charged electric cars | FREYR and Nidec complete battery manufacturing.

The joint venture is expected to invest more than $127 million by 2030, eventually employing more than 300 people, the majority of whom will be based in Mo i Rana Charged electric cars | FREYR and Nidec complete battery manufacturing.

As one of the prerequisites for establishing the joint venture, a package of 24M Technologies sample cells was sent to a third-party laboratory for testing to measure the capacity, charge and discharge profiles of the cells.

Key results from sample cell testing, according to the companies:

• Characterization analysis showed very similar behavior across the cells, and the behavior remained stable over several cycles with relatively low variability across the sample pool, giving a positive indication of cell quality.
• The cells exhibited best-in-class thermal stability performance, indicating robust safety features.
