  • Summary

  • Northvolt, once Europe's most promising battery manufacturer and brightest hope for challenging Asian dominance in the electric vehicle battery sector, filed for bankruptcy in Sweden on March 12, 2025, following months of financial struggle.
    The Swedish battery maker had previously sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States in November 2024 but ultimately failed to secure the necessary funding to continue operations.
    Despite raising over $10 billion in capital since its founding in 2016 and securing contracts with major automakers, Northvolt succumbed to a combination of production challenges, market pressures, strategic missteps, and intensifying competition from Asian manufacturers.
    The bankruptcy represents not just the failure of a single company but potentially a major setback for Europe's ambitions to establish battery manufacturing independence and accelerate its transition to electric mobility.
