Supercharging manufacturing: scaling up battery production in Europe

Battery manufacturers such as CATL, startup players as well as OEMs are investing hugely to establish regional production of battery cells and packs in Europe, with gigafactories coming online. Producing EV batteries brings a range of new complexities, from access to renewable energy and materials and keeping up with chemistry changes in battery cells, to integrating battery enclosure structures in modules. This session features major battery producers and startups, manufacturers and specialists exploring the production strategies, constraints and opportunities in ramping up output of EV batteries, including in automation, supply chain, chemistries, materials and much more. Featuring Matthias Zentgraf, President for Europe, CATL Francisco Carranza, CEO, Basquevolt Lars Carlstrom, Founder and CEO, Italvolt Hosted by Christopher Ludwig, editor-in-chief, AMS and Ultima Media
