Today is a sad day for me, the entire Cuberg family that I have known for the last nine years, and the battery industry at large. Northvolt has officially announced that it is closing down all of Cuberg’s operations and centralizing its R&D efforts in Sweden. Since 2015, the Cuberg team has worked tirelessly to advance the state of the art in battery technology. Together, we built a pioneering set of lithium metal battery technologies, worked with some of the most exciting high-performance mobility brands and projects in the world, and perhaps most importantly, assembled a world-class team that was as tight-knit and collegial as it was capable. I could not be more proud of all that the Cuberg team has accomplished over the years. As I look back on our shared legacy, what I will remember and treasure the most is the close relationships and friendships that we all built as we embarked on this industry-defining effort together. For my dear Cuberg colleagues: know that you did everything in your power to make things succeed, and your efforts will never be forgotten. As difficult as things may seem right now, memories and relationships are enduring in our small community of battery enthusiasts. For those who espouse the values we hold most dear (purpose, pragmatism, empowerment, integrity, and humility), you will soon find incredible adventures and new frontiers to embark upon. We have also built a budding Slack community of Cuberg alumni. Please reach out to me or other ex-Cuberg members for an invitation to the group! I have found it to be a fantastic resource for all of us to support each other through this transition. For recruiters and the battery industry at large: there are now roughly 200 of the most respected and capable engineers and managers in the battery industry looking for new opportunities. Make the most of it!
