Still figuring out the electrochemical process is a red flag to me. He said in the past, scaling from a simple coin cell to a pouch pack has increased the complexity and added challenges. Thier battery is still on the drawing board and the proof of concept version they show off doesn't beat existing products. If they have a pouch battery that is better than existing versions they would show it off, but they aren't. This technology is still completely up in the air.
It is always complicated to scale up lab scale innovation. They have a track record of bringing products to market, so I think it could work and if it does it will be a major disruptor for the likes of the automotive sector in Norway. Much lower cost of materials to produce than Lithium batteries, but it will attract a lower weight tax than sodium batteries.
