In Phase 2, Accuracy embarks on a detailed economic evaluation of each site including sensitivity analysis to recognize influence to profitability for every site. One result of discussions with different European companies is that numerous European markets have actually currently alloted sites for gigafactories. This has led to competitors occurring between states and also regions to use the most appealing site.
