The German government earlier this year, up 500 million euros for the financing of research and development of electric vehicles. Which funded the development of lithium-ion batteries cost 59 million euros. In 2007’s “high-tech strategy”, the German government has been the key to electric vehicle technology - lithium-ion battery as a critical item.
In order to complete this project, five major industry giant BASF, Bosch, EVONIK, LiTec, the public and the scientific community and the application of sector units 60 to form a lithium-ion batteries PD946 battery , RC107 battery , RN873 battery , “Innovation Alliance”: 360 million euros invested enterprises, the Federal scientific research funded by the Department for 60 million euros.
The above is just the investment in research and development at the federal level. In order to seize market opportunities, state governments also have a number of capital investments. Nordrhein-Westfalen inputs such as over 60 million euros. Nordrhein-Westfalen willing to invest because, apart from the wish to become a “model region for electric vehicles”, the more important is to make “North Rhine-Westphalia car as soon as possible the production of the world’s leading industrial electric vehicles.”
Published for the consultant in the “new energy in China 20,092,012 automotive industry analysis and Investment Advisory Report” noted that the lithium KD186 battery  industry as a result of motor vehicle contains a very great value of the potential of electric vehicles, battery materials upstream suppliers and downstream manufacturers of automotive lithium-ion battery car business has been spying on for a long time. Li-ion battery is behind the heat rate of cars-electric hybrid plug (also known as plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) and pure electric vehicle market recognition and R & D capability of their current concerns.
For consultants in the new energy automotive industry researcher also pointed out that Mao-Sheng, the traditional lead-acid batteries Y4546 battery , Y9943 battery , nickel cadmium batteries and nickel-metal hydride battery technology itself, more mature, but they are used in car batteries as a power there is a larger problem. At present, an increasing number of car manufacturers to choose energy lithium batteries as a new driving force for car batteries.
Today, in Germany has become the consensus is that the “only 20% of energy efficiency, gasoline engine there is no future.” It is in recognition of this, and so from all walks of life have the Royal, determined to overcome the difficulties automotive batteries. Germany’s goal is to allow electric vehicles to the current market price of ordinary diesel and petrol prices, the level of motor vehicle, a mileage of at least 200-300 km.
As long as the solution to the bottleneck in the development of electric vehicles - the issue of high-performance batteries TD349 battery , U1544 battery , not only can greatly promote the use of wind and solar, but also to solve the “hydrogen battery and fuel cell technology to lay a foundation.” This is why Germany, dumping the nation, and determined to win as soon as possible high-performance lithium-ion battery is based on one. The second is based on high-performance lithium-ion Inspiron E1505 battery  market is extremely attractive prospects. Germany, Professor Winter is estimated that by 2020, electric vehicle batteries at least in the market for more than 25 billion euros.

Recently, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to Nissan) and the Nippon Electric Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as NEC), NEC Tokin Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as NEC Togane) joint venture, Automotive Energy Supply Company (Automotive Energy Supply Corporation, hereinafter referred to AESC) announced in Zama, Kanagawa Prefecture plant began trial production a new generation of automotive lithium batteries 6Y270 battery , 75UYF battery , 7T670 battery .
And compared to the current nickel-metal hydride batteries, AESC Li-ion battery developed to provide nearly twice the power capacity. And unique pyramid structure, and also the size of lithium-ion laptop battery  module is more compact and practical. At the same time, NEC Group, the development of the electrode made of manganese metal, with better stability, sheet structure also contribute to cooling performance. The vehicles in the real experiment, not only the safety of products has been verified, but also the realization of more than 100,000 kilometers of travel (*) The long service life.
At present, the AESC has been established for mass production system, it is estimated that annual production capacity of about 13,000 about Taiwan’s future production capacity will be gradually AESC, and in 2011 in Taiwan to reach the scale of 65,000.
By AESC Li-ion Latitude D830 battery production, mainly to supply Nissan in 2010 in the United States and Japan’s production of electric vehicles, as well as the Nissan Hybrid cars. Does not rule out future AESC will supply its products to other automobile manufacturers.
