RE:RE:ScoopActually, this is what Paradigm Capital said regarding the equipment commissioning - essentially, the manufacturing line was validated by the South Korean company that manufactured and sold it to VoltaXplore.
VoltaXplore engineers were closely involved with the commissioning of the battery manufacturing line for the demonstration plant in South Korea, producing VoltaXplore 18650 batteries using materials provided by NanoXplore. The manufacturing line ran and produced a small quantity of 18650 batteries. This equipment was disassembled and sent to Montreal in three separate shipments — all equipment has arrived, and the final shipment is currently being installed. VoltaXplore expects this 1 MW facility to begin producing 18650 batteries by the end of February.
Because this line was effectively commissioned in South Korea, we associate zero risk to this risk element.
