Two innovative Swedish battery companies aim to supply clean energy in the home and for your car When it's windy or sunny, wind and solar farms produce renewable energy. But the wind doesn't always blow, and the sun doesn't always shine exactly when we want to use electricity. That's why battery technology is so important to a green future.
Northvolt's batteries are also green. But, unlike Nilar's batteries, Northvolt's lithium-ion batteries are mostly intended for use in powering electric vehicles. Electric vehicles don't use a single battery like a phone. Rather they use a pack comprised of thousands of individual lithium-ion cells working together.
Nilar, which has been developing nickel-based batteries in a new large format for over fifteen years, launched commercially in 2019. The company's nickel metal hydride batteries are designed to store renewable energy in homes or commercial, municipal and industrial settings.
People familiar with Northvolt's fundraising have said it is preparing debt financing of more than $5bn for its current Swedish factory. Copyright The Financial Times Limited 2025.
