Same deal. Cells purchased, battery packs assembled in house. In this case home energy storage units built up in house. The advantage is that there could be several parallel lines assembling whatever. Theoretically each line could have cells supplied from a different vendor. The advantage to Electrovaya is:
1. Right next door
2. Longer life
3. Safe cell with procellian sepaator
4. Lower cost W H E N the new production line is constructed ? I am not looking for Daimler as a customer untill a new production line is put into service. Need funding - turmoil in Europe may hinder this. If Canada Developement Bank is involved then the production line would have to be constructed in Canada.
5. Higher energy density
