Dislike of lithium-ion batteries to low and high temperatures, seems to not confuse the manufacturers of electric vehicles, as they actively use this type of batteries. In fact, there is simply no mass alternative to this type of battery, although Toyota has recently considered nickel-metal hydride batteries to be the best choice for its hybrids. Toyota announced its readiness to use artificial intelligence to search for new materials and technologies that can be used to produce new generation battery cells. That is, one of the world's largest car manufacturers recognizes that work on this direction needs to be intensified.
Last week, DigiTimes , citing the Economic Daily News, said that Foxconn intends to buy 1.19% of shares of the Chinese manufacturer of lithium-ion batteries Contemporary Amperex Technology. According to the publication, this indicates the desire of Foxconn to expand the pool of assets associated with the production of automotive components. Foxconn already has a share in the capital of manufacturers of all sorts of sensors, molds, printed circuit boards for automotive electronics and LCD panels. To buy a stake in CATL, the company will spend about $ 145 million.
