To find out how batteries are made, we didn't have to go to China or America to Tesla, & egrave; it was enough to stay in Italy. The occasion is was the presentation of Askoll's scooter designed for sharing and, given that the eclectic Marioni (born in 1950, President of Askoll for 37 years) had built the test track right next to the production plants, the visit behind the wings was a must.
The video will bring you; through the production phases of an electric scooter but gives a good idea of the steps necessary for the production of an electric car and, scaled, allows you to understand how batteries are born and why; they are not all the same
HOW BATTERIES ARE BORN 
Auto 10 Jun
Today, however, the construction of the batteries is still predominant starting from the cells already; ready, obtained from different suppliers. Askoll EVA, in particular, uses cylindrical cells and assembles them in a plant that makes battery packs and complete scooters.
THE SECRET ROOM 
On balance, & egrave; the most important thing; similar to Research & amp; Development that a producer who buys the cells can do: they will not have the capacity; and the money of a Tesla, but & egrave; this is the difference between the Italians of Askoll EVA and other low cost brands that work more in a more efficient way; mechanics, limiting investments and costs.
Being able to have a completely customizable simulation, Askoll not only analyzes the batches of cells, thus realizing any defects first and asking the supplier for an account, but also manages to develop their specifications, request changes for future products and optimize the BMS software.
All this work translates into quality & agrave; greater than the electrical system, not only the batteries but also the code lines of the control system which, we have seen here, are able to actively affect the autonomy.
STRATEGY AND NUMBERS 
The visit to the Askoll headquarters is; It was then the occasion to discover the strategy for the future of the company which rests on three fundamental pillars for the EVA division, the one dedicated to mobility; electric. e-Scooter, scooter for sharing (e.sco) and bottom bracket motor for electric bikes.
Interesting numbers of electric scooters which, alone, in 2020 achieved 91% of turnover. These are divided between 60% of sales to final consumers, 20% for the professional delivery world and 20% for sharing, a sign that the company is also able to reach the public and does not speak only with companies.
Often, in fact, the numbers of electric sales are heavily drugged by the world of sharing and fleets, the case of the Fiat 500 & egrave; a recent example. The remaining 8% is represented by the e-bike category that & egrave; dominated by the consumer segment (90%) compared to that of sharing.
It should be noted that Askoll EVA does not operate only in Italy and Europe has a different market from ours: in France, for example, the share of L1s (the & quot; fifty & quot;) & egrave; 63% compared to L3. Italy is unbalanced instead towards the L3 category (84%) and aims to replace the 125 cc with electric ones. In the Netherlands, on the other hand, the share of the & quot; fifty & quot; & egrave; 94%.
