Morgan Automotive Conference, reporting cumulative customer billings of $40 million and the QSE-5 cell with 800 Wh/L, >300 Wh/kg and fast-charging capability. The pilot line "Eagle" is running with over 90% availability and is expected to double production in the near term to demonstrate scalability, yield and repeatability. Partnerships with Volkswagen and Honda, as well as a licensing rather than own-gigafactory approach, are intended to enable mass production; the short-term focus is on proving scalability and expanding the commercial base. » Plus sur de.investing.com
