FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Daimler has struck a deal to buy lithium ion battery cells from Farasis Energy, a Chinese-American supplier that is building a factory in east Germany to help Mercedes-Benz ramp up electric vehicle production, it said on Tuesday. Daimler will use lithium ion battery cells made up of nickel, manganese and cobalt (NMC) for now, as other battery composition materials which promise higher energy density have not proved as reliable, Schaefer said.
“Some of the new materials work in a laboratory but not in the real world,” Schaefer said, adding that experimental batteries often failed to withstand the vibrations and temperature changes that vehicles experience while driving.
