Price drivers over time

• Volume driven cost reduction and economies of scale up to 8 GWh

• Improvements from better chemistry (e.g. NMC111 to 811)

• Long term offtake strategies mask cost structure

• Strategic corporate behavior

• National subsidy programs

• Temporary over-supply

FREYR cost-reduction strategies

• Build at scale to ‘start the journey’ at the lowest point

• Deep in-licensing of best available battery cell technology

• Utilize Norwegian industrial expertise for high uptime and regularity

• Focus the value chain on energy intensive part of battery cell production

• Long-term supply relationships to enable and create lasting cost advantage

• Industrial scale up facility inside the Fast Track line for best emerging technologies
