Volkswagen is closing in on a new battery technology that will bring “a quantum leap for the electric car”, according to the firm’s boss Martin Winterkorn.
Winterkorn told German tabloid newspaper Bild, "VW is researching a super-battery in Silicon Valley in California, that is cheaper, smaller and more powerful. An electric Volkswagen that can travel 300km (186 miles) on electricity is in sight. It will be a quantum leap for the electric car.”
As we reported back in December, VW acquired a 5% holding in QuantumScape (http://www.electric-vehiclenews.com/2014/12/vw-buys-stake-in-solid-state-battery.html), a San Jose-based early-stage battery startup that has been working on commercializing solid-state battery technology from Stanford University.
Volkswagen was due to decide (http://www.electric-vehiclenews.com/2015/03/vw-to-decide-on-new-battery-technology.html) in the first half of this year whether QuantumScape's battery technology is ready for use in its electric cars. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/pEcq?d=yIl2AUoC8zA (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/pEcq?a=dMmp5Wx8XDo:oOWqQ20OU64:yIl2AUoC8zA) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/pEcq?i=dMmp5Wx8XDo:oOWqQ20OU64:V_sGLiPBpWU (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/pEcq?a=dMmp5Wx8XDo:oOWqQ20OU64:V_sGLiPBpWU) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/pEcq?d=qj6IDK7rITs (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/pEcq?a=dMmp5Wx8XDo:oOWqQ20OU64:qj6IDK7rITs) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/pEcq?i=dMmp5Wx8XDo:oOWqQ20OU64:gIN9vFwOqvQ (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/pEcq?a=dMmp5Wx8XDo:oOWqQ20OU64:gIN9vFwOqvQ)
