Eurocell is Building a Gigafactory in Western Europe

Eurocell batteries last over 10 times longer than conventional lithium-ion technologies, reducing virtually all 'end of life' issues. A wide range of operating temperatures also makes them ideally suited to areas with extreme weather and for off-grid solutions.

'Founding Father' of Lithium Ion Batteries Helps Solve 40 Year Problem

In the late 1970s, M. Stanley Whittingham was the first to describe the concept of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, an achievement for which he would share the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Yet even he couldn't have anticipated the complex materials science challenges that would arise as these batteries came to power the world's portable electronics.
