On Wednesday it has been chosen as the exclusive partner to develop high-performing lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles with Cell force Group, a joint venture between Porsche and Custom cells : Berlin: Germany’s BASF
As part of the collaboration, BASF will provide materials for high-performance battery cells for fast charging and high energy density. Cellforce Group will produce the high-performing battery.
Sources told Reuters last month that Volkswagen was seeking closer ties with Germany’s BASF, one of the world’s largest suppliers of battery materials.
BASF will provide materials for high-performance battery cells for fast charging and high energy density. Cellforce Group will produce the high-performing battery.
BASF has been selected by Cellforce Group, a joint venture between Porsche and Customcells, as the exclusive cell development partner for its next-generation lithium-ion battery.
As part of the collaboration, BASF will provide high-energy HED NCM cathode active materials to contribute to high-performance battery cells for fast charging and high energy density. Cellforce Group, based in Tübingen, Germany, will produce the high-performing battery. Its battery production plant is expected to start operations in 2024 with an initial capacity of at least 100 MWh per year, powering 1,000 Motorsport and high-performance vehicles from the German sportscar maker.
Also BASF,Porsche will also develop lithium-ion batteries for EVs.
