The Elixir of
Electric Mobility
Having the right ingredients in the chemistry of the battery is no longer the only decisive factor in the race for future mobility. Developers also need to succeed in transferring knowledge from research into production processes. However, without support from German politicians, this will fail, not least because Asian manufacturers will use patent law to defend their markets.
