Title: Farasis is apparently doing a rapid expansion...
Post by: togo on January 26, 2019, 12:54:46 AM

Old news I guess, but I just saw this, they are doing a $1,000,000,000 expansion...

Newbies: These are the people Zero partners with for the batteries.  Good background in this thread:

Oh, and since 2017, the cells can do 4C continuous and 10C peak.

Edit: I stand corrected.  Thanks Wijnand.

1 billion dollars?  That is a really impressive financing investment.  That kind of money will really put Farasis on the map with the other big battery manufacturers. Which has got to be good for Zero in the future.   :)

DIScharge the're talking about, not charging.. But still very good specs, and becourse the pouchcells have very low internal resistance they don't require addidional cooling. Wich is great and keeps the compexity of an EV low on the battery side.
