Volkswagen Group’s battery company, PowerCo, and QuantumScape have entered into a significant agreement to industrialize QuantumScape’s advanced solid-state lithium-metal battery technology. This partnership will see QuantumScape granting PowerCo a non-exclusive license to mass-produce battery cells using their technology platform, contingent upon satisfactory technical progress and specific royalty payments. PowerCo can manufacture up to 40 gigawatt-hours (GWh) annually with the option to expand to 80 GWh, enough to power around one million vehicles each year.

The recent Porsche Consulting report, “Battery Manufacturing 2030: Collaborating at Warp Speed,” offers a timely and insightful perspective on the rapidly evolving battery manufacturing sector. In light of recent geopolitical challenges and Northvolt’s well-publicized difficulties, the report underscores the critical need for European and North American mechanical engineering firms to enhance collaboration and innovation. This approach is essential to establish a robust battery technology cluster outside of Asia, thereby reducing dependency and fostering technological sovereignty. #IgnitingAmericanManufacturing #EV #EVbattery #Gigafactory #GigafactoryOfTheFuture #SmartFactory

Throughout our various projects within the gigafactory industry, we have identified 8 key challenges that are evident to both newcomers and, to some extent, even established players. Have a glimpse:   1️⃣ Short-cycled technology leaps Frequent product and process updates required to stay competitive 2️⃣ Parallel cell development and system integration Instability in sample production & ramp-up due to product and process immaturity 3️⃣ Inhouse process & equipment competence High troubleshooting effort & know-how required to reach maximum performance 4️⃣ Immature standardization in key areas Basis for holistic optimization & high requirements by automotive customers 5️⃣ Equipment supplier selection dilemma Trade-off between price, performance, industrialization support & innovation 6️⃣ Personnel ramp up & qualification Hiring, on-boarding and retention of qualified staff 7️⃣ Raw materials & supply chain safeguarding Reliable and cost-competitive supply chain fulfilling all regulatory requirements 8️⃣ Synchronizing all functions and tasks during steep ramp-up phase Significant coordination effort: Rapid growth amplifies organizational & cultural challenges   More information on this, as well as further insights into the gigafactory industry, can be found in our whitepaper.
