UPDATE 1-Sweden’s Northvolt weighs Quebec for potential electric plane battery plant

Northvolt is looking at the Canadian province of Quebec as a possible site to industrialize its Cuberg lithium metal battery system for electric planes, the Swedish company's co-founder said on Tuesday, adding that a decision was still years away. "We are looking at it," Paolo Cerruti, who heads the company's North American division, told reporters on the sidelines of an event at the Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan Montreal. California-based Cuberg, a subsidiary of Northvolt, has begun testing its battery system which the company says is light enough to be installed on a plane to make electric flying safe and sustainable.
