With the construction, the start-up wants to triple the energy density of a lithium-ion battery, halve the production costs and significantly increase the charging speed.
Dusseldorf When it comes to one of the greatest technical challenges, large electric car manufacturers are relying on start-ups in droves. The most recent example is the US car company General Motors, which relies on One D Battery. GM recently invested $25 million in the start-up.
Who is the person you are talking about?
The start-up is headed by Vincent Pluvinage. The 65-year-old Belgian is a serial founder and has been working in Silicon Valley for decades. He was promoted by icons such as Intel CEO Andy Grove or venture capital icon Eugene Kleiner.
Why is that important?
The future of electric car batteries also depends on a semi-metal: silicon. All car manufacturers are researching it. Because the integration of silicon in lithium-ion batteries promises significantly lower costs, faster charging times and higher energy density.
