    That would have been an actually smart thing to buy for Volkswagen or another European car maker. Volkswagen used to own 23.6% of Northvolt, so they should know the business.

      Makes me think they sold out because they knew the business wasn’t sustainable.

      VW has their own rapidly maturing battery cell production, so I suspect they just decided they didn’t need to buy Northvolt. They probably already got all the IP they needed anyways.
