In Episode 70 of The Energy Question, David Blackmon interviews Lars Carlstrom, founder and CEO of Statevolt and Italvolt. Statvolt and Italvolt are startup companies dedicated to the manufacture of both stationary and transportation batteries.

Carlstrom compares and contrasts the challenges of starting up companies in both the U.S. and Italy in terms of permitting, supply chains, resource availability and employee sourcing and retention. He also discusses how both the U.S. and Europe are addressing the challenges in this space presented by China and its dominance in the electric vehicles and energy minerals space.

Enjoy.
