The evolution of batteries & egrave; very important for the growth of the electric car sector. Accumulators play an even more role. important on very high performance cars. Is not serious; a mystery that Porsche intends to work on developing new cells for use in its cars.

JOINT VENTURE WITH CUSTOMCELLS

Porsche has created a joint venture with Customcells to develop and manufacture cells for the batteries of electric cars which will be characterized by a higher density; energy and to offer reduced charging times. Porsche deterr & agrave; about 80% of this new company which will therefore be under its control. The new plant will be called & agrave; Weissach Development Center and sar & agrave; built in the city & agrave; Customcells birthplace in Tübingen. The project will be; also financed by the German state (60 million euros).

The cells that will be produced, according to what has been stated, will use silicon anodes and will resist longer; at high temperatures. However, one should not expect a large factory. The structure will have; a ability; per year of 100 MWh , sufficient to meet the needs of about 1,000 vehicles. These batteries will not, in fact, be used on all Porsche models but only on the very high performance ones and on cars destined for competitions. Volkswagen Group to build six Gigafactory in Europe. It is therefore an independent initiative of Porsche. We will work initially to improve the density energy and resistance to high temperatures. And if it were to come to a lowering of costs, the production could be expanded. However, this aspect is not; the priority Porsche at the moment.

If the work yields interesting results, the technology developed could be made available to other brands of the Volkswagen Group. You can & ograve; therefore speculate that, in the future, high-performance models from manufacturers such as Bugatti and Lamborghini could use the cells that will be built thanks to this new joint venture.
