Northvolt was supposed to be Europe's answer to Tesla - a $14 billion battery empire that would revolutionize green energy and break the continent's dependence on Asian manufacturers. Founded by a former Tesla executive who witnessed Elon Musk's legendary factory floor commitment firsthand, Northvolt promised to build the world's greenest batteries using 100% renewable energy.

But in 2024, this Swedish startup spectacularly collapsed into bankruptcy, burning through more money than most major corporations see in a lifetime. What went wrong?

In this deep dive, we explore how Northvolt's ambitious vision crashed into the harsh reality of manufacturing - where Elon Musk's warning that "production is 100 times harder than prototyping" proved devastatingly accurate. From workplace tragedies to the $2 billion BMW contract cancellation, we uncover the shocking story of how Europe's most promising green energy company became one of 2024's biggest business failures.
