Cellforce is the name of the new factory that results from the partnership between Porsche and the equally German Customcells, which will be located in Tubingen, Germany, where the current structure will see its installed capacity increase by 80% as a result of this joint venture.
With the launch and Taycan’s success and presence at the Formula E World Cup, Porsche is collecting a lot of information about the promising future of automotive electrification.
This new factory does not intend to produce batteries in quantity or ensure high production volumes. The idea of this consortium is to be a development center for high-capacity and high-performance batteries.
Porsche assumes that in terms of dimensions this unit is smaller than others that may be comparable (if you thought of Tesla’s Gigafactory, you’re right), but its goal is to have a unit that is capable of producing 100 MWh per year. In other words, in the words of those responsible in a statement: “something like a thousand high-performance cars per year”.
The type of batteries that can be developed may be destined for the competition (not necessarily the Formula E where the battery supplier is not the brand that gives the team its name), but also new versions of the brand’s models, which leaves a lot open.
The factory will only be fully functional in 2024 and the German brand has not yet announced which will be the first car to use the new technologies that are being developed.
