Northvolt celebrates groundbreaking for large battery plant. 3,000 jobs would be created directly at Northvolt, and another 10,000 are expected in the area around the factory.

In Heide, Northvolt wants to produce batteries for a million electric cars every year. Production is scheduled to start in 2026 and create 3,00 new jobs. Critics still see major problems with the factory connected to the German transport network, as the factory needs to be connected with the transport network to be built.
